Abstract
Sign languages are the means of communication of deaf community around the world. They are fully developed linguistic systems that have their own grammar, rules and linguistic structure. This thesis explores the complexity of their structure, along with historical changes and some of the many distinctions between different sign languages. The main aim is to provide a deeper understanding of how sign languages create new and more complex meanings through morphological processes, but also to highlight the unique characteristics that distinguish them from spoken languages. American Sign Language (ASL) is the language in focus, as the most research has been carried out on it. A significant section of this paper is devoted to the process of compounding, which is the most productive morphological process in sign languages, with particular attention paid to the Al-Sayyid Bedouin Sign Language (ABSL). Since this language is only 75 years old, it provides a noteworthy insight into the emergence of new compounds, but also into the evolving nature of sign languages in general.
Abstract (croatian)
Znakovni jezici su sredstvo komunikacije zajednice gluhih širom svijeta. Oni su potpuno razvijeni jezični sustavi koji imaju vlastitu gramatiku, pravila i jezičnu strukturu. Ovaj rad istražuje složenost njihove strukture, zajedno s povijesnim razvojem i nekim od mnogih razlika između različitih znakovnih jezika. Glavni cilj ovog rada je produbiti razumijevanje načina na koji znakovni jezici stvaraju nova i složenija značenja kroz morfološke procese, ali i istaknuti jedinstvene karakteristike koje ih razlikuju od govornih jezika. Američki znakovni jezik (ASL) je jezik u fokusu, jer je na njemu provedeno najviše istraživanja. Značajan dio ovog rada posvećen je tvorbi složenica, najproduktivnijem morfološkom procesu u znakovnim jezicima, s posebnim naglaskom na Al-Sayyid beduinskom znakovnom jeziku (ABSL). Budući da je ovaj jezik star samo 75 godina, njegova analiza pruža značajan uvid u pojavu novih složenica, ali i u razvojnu prirodu znakovnih jezika općenito.
