El muestreo de señantes en la Isla de Providencia: reflexiones sobre un proyecto de documentación a pequeña escala
Sampling Signers in Providence Island: Reflections on a Small-Scale Documentation Project
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
La lengua de señas de la isla de Providencia (PISL) es una lengua de señas indígena colombiana usada en la isla caribeña de Providencia. Descrita por primera vez en los años sesenta y setenta, esta lengua ha sido poco investigada. En este artículo presento un proyecto de documentación a pequeña escala de la PISL que comenzó en 2019 y aún está vigente. Describo el objetivo, los métodos y los resultados del proyecto y hago una reflexión sobre la recopilación de datos, en particular con respecto al muestreo de los miembros de la comunidad señante. Este documento contribuye a las discusiones en curso sobre la implementación de mejores prácticas en la documentación lenguas de señas, al adicionar un estudio de caso centrado en el muestreo en una micro comunidad de señantes.
