요약Mexican Sign Language (Lengua de Señas Mexicana, LSM; ISO 639-3 mfs) is a national signed language of Mexico used in an extremely multilingual context by Deaf signers with varying linguistic backgrounds (Cruz Aldrete, 2008b; Quinto-Pozos, 2002, 2008). Economic and educational opportunities have led to increasing immigration along the US-Mexico border and increased bilingualism with American Sign Language (ASL; ISO 639-3 ase) among LSM signers. As a result, LSM-ASL signers form a broad spectrum of bilingual abilities, much like spoken language bilinguals; however, sign bilingualism and unimodal signed language contact (contact between two or more signed languages) has not been extensively researched. The intensive contact between Mexican Deaf and American Deaf communities at US-Mexico border areas (Quinto-Pozos, 2002, 2008) provides a unique opportunity to study outcomes of sign-sign language contact and bilingualism involving typologically similar languages. One area of potential interest for examining syntactic outcomes of language contact and bilingualism is relative clauses (RCs), which vary significantly cross linguistically (Dryer, 2013; Coons, 2022b) but may also be subject to grammatical convergence and structural borrowing in situations of language contact (Matras et al., 2007; Wichmann & Wohlgemuth, 2008). In signed languages, RCs consistently function and are marked in ways that are similar to spoken languages (e.g. relative pronouns, RC strategies), but also diverge in notable ways (e.g. non-manual markers, use of space). ASL has been argued to use mixed RC strategies, including post-nominal externally-headed, internally-headed, and correlative/adjoined RCs (Galloway, 2011, 2014). However, RCs in LSM have not been previously described.This dissertation research fills this gap by examining the structure of RCs in LSM and the outcomes of extensive bilingualism and language contact with ASL on relativization strategies in the LSM signing of LSM-ASL bilingual signers in Southern California. This research further asks whether differences in RC use between sign monolingual and sign bilingual LSM signers constitutes an instance of grammatical convergence with ASL due to bilingualism and language interference, as well as whether these differences constitute a bilingual language variety which diverges from monolingual varieties. To answer this question,∼50 hours video elicitation, narrative and conversational data, and sociolinguistic interviews were collected in Mexico City area with 16 Deaf LSM signers (ages 29-84) and∼22 hours in the San Diego/Tijuana area with 9 Deaf LSM signers (ages 26-62). Additionally, an online grammaticality judgement task was used to elicit grammaticality judgements of LSM RCs from sign monolingual and sign bilingual LSM-ASL signers to examine variability in the acceptability of RCs in LSM with ASL-like vs LSM-like relativizing structures. This range of data allows for a detailed analysis of RCs that accounts for syntactic (e.g. position, syntactic role) and discursive influences (e.g. shared information status, topicalization).LSM has mixed RC strategies (externally-headed, internally-headed and doubly headed/correlative), based on their syntactic properties (e.g. scope of temporal adverbial modifiers, position relative to the matrix, relative pronouns) and prosodic features (e.g. non-manuals, prosodic breaks). Various syntactic and discursive factors guide the use of RCs in LSM, including contrastive focus, discursive prominence, and the syntactic roles and argument reversibility of referents. The elicitation and interview data suggests some syntactic and prosodic differences in the RCs of interior and border varieties of LSM, which could potentially be due to language internal factors and/or language contact and bilingualism with ASL. The judgement task data lends some evidence for different grammatical systems and/or discursive practices in these signing communities. However, these effects are subtle and require further future investigation. Overall, this dissertation research adds to the sparse research on LSM, RCs in signed languages and sign-sign language contact and bilingualism, as well as contributes to our understanding of signed language typology.
