Abstract
SLA research is characterised by a striking homogeneity in the linguistic, social and geographical data we as a field draw on. Such empirical homogeneity is a potential threat to the validity and scope of our models and theories. This paper focuses on a particular gap in our knowledge, namely the SLA of sign languages. It outlines an argument as to why the SLA of sign matters to general SLA research in terms of the empirical representativity, generalisability, and validity of the conclusions in the field. It exemplifies three domains where the study of language acquisition across modalities could shed important light on theoretical issues in mainstream SLA/bilingualism research (e.g. learner varieties, explicit-implicit learning, and crosslinguistic influence), and highlight some of the methodological challenges involved in such work.
Résumé
La recherche sur l’acquisition des langues secondes (L2) est caractérisée par un manque de diversité en termes de données linguistiques, sociales et géographiques. Cette homogénéité empirique représente une menace potentielle par rapport à la validité et la portée de nos théories. Notre article focalise l’attention sur une lacune empirique particulière, à savoir l’acquisition L2 des langues de signes, et illustre pourquoi leur étude peut contribuer aux questions théoriques plus générales dans l’apprentissage des langues en termes de représentativité empirique, possibilités de généralisation et validité des résultats. Nous considérons trois domaines d’étude (les lectes d’apprenants, l’apprentissage implicite/explicite et l’influence translinguistique) dans lesquels la prise en compte de l’acquisition du langage dans différentes modalités pourrait éclairer des questions théoriques importantes dans la recherche sur l’acquisition d’une L2 / le bilinguisme, et signalons également quelques défis méthodologiques impliqués dans un tel travail.
