Annotare la lingua dei segni italiana (LIS) all’università Strategie degli apprendenti

Abstract

This study explores the annotation strategies used by hearing adult learners of Italian Sign Language (LIS). Twenty-eight students, evenly split between the University of Catania and Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, were asked to share their annotations from the LIS courses they attended during the 2021‑22 academic year. The findings highlight common features in the annotation strategies of learners at various levels of competence, including the use of Italian glosses and explanations for signs, as well as the adoption of mixed strategies involving Italian transcriptions, drawings, symbols, and self-recorded videos.
