ABSTRACT

[Purpose] This study aimed to analyze the creation background and morphophonological characteristics of name signs for Deaf people and hearing people. [Method] 120 hearing people aged 20-69 years were video interviewed. Interview data was subsequently analyzed. [Results] Phonological analysis revealed that both men and women expressed name signs with one hand rather than both hands. The analysis identified 19 types of one-handed name signs for men and 18 types of one-handed name signs for women. Men and women were found to use different hand shapes. In two-handed name signs for men, 6 types of right-hand shapes and 3 types of left-hand shapes were found, while 3 types were found in which both hands had the same shape; 5types of right-hand shapes and 3 types of left-hand shapes were found for women. A total of 17 location was found, with 10 locations only applying to men, and 3 locations only applying to woman. While name signs were mainly expressed in facial detail, it was not expressed on the face when moving both hands. In terms of movement types were found on the fingers, 3 on the wrist, and 9 on the arms, with arm movement being observed most often in both men and women. Morphological analysis revealed gender markers in both men and women, although these appeared more clearly in women. The analysis identified 8 types of name signs meaning (last name, First name, Full name, appearance, characteristic, job, etc., complex), and 'appearance' was the most frequent. As for the meaning of the name signs, 'positive' was the most common for both men and women. The creation background analysis revealed that name signs were created for both men and women in their twenties, and most name signs were created within a day. Name signs were created at work, place of worship, and KSL academies, and their frequency varied according to age. [Conclusion] Similarities and differences between the results of this study and those of previous studies were discussed, and future research directions were suggested.
