People from varying regions and backgrounds have different ways of saying the same thing. For example, in English some people say "test," while others say "tes'," dropping the final "t." Noted scholars Ceil Lucas, Robert Bayley, and Clayton Valli led a team of exceptional researchers in applying techniques for analyzing spoken language variation to ASL. Their observations at the phonological, lexical, morphological, and syntactic levels demonstrate that ASL variation correlates with many of the same driving social factors of spoken languages, including age, socioeconomic class, gender, ethnic background, region, and sexual orientation. Internal constraints that mandate variant choices for spoken languages have been compared to ASL as well, with intriguing results.Sociolinguistics in deaf communities series ;v. 7.American Sign LanguageSocial aspectsSociolinguisticsAmerican Sign LanguageSocial aspects.Sociolinguistics.420.07Lucas Ceil174959Valli Clayton1791991Rose Mary1791992Bayley Robert1943-1732485MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910958326003321Sociolinguistic variation in American sign language4329842UNINA
