“…Sign language is a language that uses body movements and facial expressions as a representation of spoken language (Fuks, 2014). The Deaf Community is the main user of this language which combines hand shapes, hand movements, body arms and facial expressions to explain their thoughts.…”

<p>Problems that occur in learning Indonesian sign language, especially for the Solo area, are the scarcity of opening sign language classes for the public and the limited use of instructional media. To overcome this problem, an Android-based sign language learning media application was developed with the ADDIE research method. ADDIE method, namely analysis, design, development, implementation and evaluation. This research will focus on the feasibility test of the application of learning media by using the indicators on the ISO 25010, standard that is used to test the feasibility of the software. The aspects tested are functional suitability, usability aspects, portability aspects and validation by material experts and media experts. The results of the feasibility test obtained, for the functional suitability test 100%, usability test 83.2%, 100% portability test, 100% material expert test and 93% media expert and it can be concluded that the application of sign language learning media is feasible to use.</p>

“…Although in all cases motivated elements are discrete in citation form, there is evidence that they can be altered in gradient fashion analogically with exigencies of the discourse. For example, the hand configuration of the ISL lexical sign for RAKE can undergo crumpling to iconically indicate a rake that has been bent (Fuks 2014).…”

Comparing phonology in spoken language and sign language reveals that core properties, such as features, feature categories, the syllable, and constraints on form, exist in both naturally occurring language modalities. But apparent ubiquity can be deceptive. The features themselves are quintessentially different, and key properties, such as linearity and arbitrariness, although universal, occur in inverse proportions to their counterparts, simultaneity and iconicity, in the two modalities. Phonology does not appear full blown in a new sign language, but it does gradually emerge, accruing linguistic structure over time. Sign languages suggest that the phonological component of the language faculty is a product of the ways in which the physical system, cognitive structure, and language use among people interact over time.

Enactment is a frequent depictive strategy used to denote referents. Its referential functions are increasingly well-documented cross-linguistically, notably in sign languages. A lesser-known function of enactment is that of stance expression. By enacting a referent, language users can also convey their own perspective and comment on the enacted individual. In this article, it is argued that the depictive manipulation of the French Belgian Sign Language (LSFB) lexical sign ls, which refers to the action of signing, is a fruitful area of investigation for the study of social meanings conveyed by means of enactment. The observation of elicited dyadic conversations about language attitudes shows that LSFB signers can mold several formational aspects of the sign ls in a variety of ways by means of enactment, providing a near first-hand experience of – and commenting on – diverse signers and their signing styles.
