🔍 In this publication, I describe the type of discourse markers in LSFB (French Belgian Sign Language), their functions, and their translation into written French. Most discourse markers in LSFB are:

🧵 6/6

👉 The most frequent form of reformulations is similar in LSFB & FR.

👉 Interpreters engage their hands, bodies, faces, and voices in their renditions.

👉 Both signers and interpreters draw on all their available semiotic resources to convey meaning, but in a different way.

🧵 5/

👉 Dialogues between 2 LSFB signers (source) and interpretation in FR by 2 interpreters (target).

👉 More reformulations in LSFB source discourse than in FR target discourse.

👉 But, in target discourse, interlingual reformulation (between LSFB & FR) & intralingual reformulation (within FR).

Extending this comparative approach to a broader and more diverse sample of signers and productions will contribute to the understanding of how deaf interpreters adapt their language use to the objectives and constraints of the co-interpretation setting.

Case study:

👉 Data from the same deaf signer in the #LSFBCorpus and the #CoInterpretationCorpus

👉 Similar pragmatic function of reformulations across the 2 samples

👉 Differences in the frequency of reformulations and the length of repetitions between the 2 samples

Using this data system, contrastive research has been carried out (e.g. @LepeutAlysson, @sebastienvdn.bsky.social and @clara_lombart) and the 1st ever bilingual and contextual dictionary bridging a signed and a spoken language has been created (also at www.corpus-lsfb.be).
