ABSTRACT

[Objective] The purpose of this study was to procure fundamental data to support the development of Korean golf sign language based on analysis of Finnish sign language dictionaries and to determine whether Finnish golf sign language may be used for this purpose. The study was divided as follows: 1) Finnish golf sign language that can be intuitively understood by Korean deaf people; 2) Finnish golf sign language that can be easily applied once the standard golf sign language is known; 3) Finnish golf sign language that was created using general sign language, and 4) Finnish golf sign language that was created based on golfing scenarios and the analysis of 42 golf sign words that are included in the Finnish Sign Language Dictionary. [Results] The analysis identified 13 terms that Korean deaf people can intuitively understand among Finnish golf sign languages, 6 terms that can be easily applied once standard golf sign language is known, 4 terms incorporated into golf sign language using Finnish general sign language, 13 terms created using golf playing scenarios, and 6 other terms. [Conclusion] The study’s findings may serve as fundamental data for the development of Korean golf sign language in the absence of golf sign language in Korea, and it is expected that the study will serve as a cornerstone for the further development of a golf sign language that deaf people may used in addition to the terms analyzed in this study.
