My areas of research broadly stated are: language, communication and culture. For most of my career I have been involved in the study of sign language, particularly American Sign Language (ASL). The field of sign language studies, now involving many more sign languages than just those in North America and Europe, has sought to understand properties of human language as they are expressed in either sound or vision. Are sentences structured in similar ways? How are narratives told using the hands and body instead of through speech and sound? How do art forms exploit the medium in which the language is expressed? In recent years, together with my colleagues Mark Aronoff, Irit Meir and Wendy Sandler, I have taken my interest in language in new directions. My colleagues and I have had the opportunity to study a new sign language developing in social and cultural circumstances quite different from that of North America, where ASL is primarily used.
This work has allowed me to explore ways in which language forms are created, propagated, and conventionalized in natural environments. Some of our findings concern the linguistic structure of a new language, what properties emerge quickly

Carol Padden Edit Profile
lecturerprofessorauthor
Carol A. Padden is an American academic, author, and lecturer.
Background
She was born deaf to a Deaf family, and also has a Deaf older brother.
Education
As a child, she was reared in Deaf culture: the people with whom she and her family socialized attended both Deaf schools and Deaf clubs.
Career
She is a professor in the Department of Communication at the University of California, San Diego, where she has been teaching since She was named a MacArthur Fellow and a Guggenheim Fellow. My parents are both deaf, and I have an older deaf brother, so sign language was a natural part of my upbringing.
When I was eight, I transferred from a special school for deaf children to my local public school and for the first time, I was among children and adults who did not sign.
I often describe this experience as being “educated abroad,” because it gave me a sense of self and difference that I did not have before. She was reared bilingually in English and American Sign Language.
Padden is married to Tom, who is also Deaf and has co-authored several books with her. She als
