Research has shown that when persons with normal hearing accompany their speech with gestures, right-handers use more right-hand gestures, and left-handers use more left-hand gestures, although to a lesser extent (D. Kimura, 1973a, 1973b, Neuropsychologia, 11, 45-50, 51-55.). Comparable differences have been found in deaf persons when signing, with the direction of hand dominance for signing in both right- and left-handers corresponding to that for nonlinguistic actions (J. Vaid, D. Schemenauer, U. Bellugi, & H. Poizner, 1984, Hand dominance in a visual-gesture language. Paper presented at BABBLE, March, Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada). In this paper, I recount early theories and observational data about hand dominance for gesture and signing, both in the hearing and the deaf. Several of these early theories and observations anticipate current work and also suggest new avenues for investigation.
研究表明,听力正常的人在说话时会辅以手势,右利手使用右手手势更多,左利手使用左手手势更多,不过程度稍小(D. 木村,1973a,1973b,《神经心理学》,第11卷,第45 - 50页,第51 - 55页)。在聋人使用手语时也发现了类似的差异,右利手和左利手在使用手语时的优势手方向与非语言动作的优势手方向一致(J. 瓦伊德、D. 谢梅瑙尔、U. 贝鲁吉和H. 波伊兹纳,1984年,《视觉手势语言中的优势手》。3月在加拿大安大略省尼亚加拉瀑布城举行的婴儿语言发展研讨会上发表的论文)。在本文中,我讲述了关于听力正常者和聋人在手势及手语方面优势手的早期理论和观察数据。这些早期理论和观察中的一些预见了当前的研究工作,也提出了新的研究途径。
