	Sociolinguistic Variation in American Sign Language
		Variation may be realized at all different levels of a language.
		In ASL, phonological variation can be seen in signs such as bored or deaf, usually signed with a 1 handshape (index finger extended, all other fingers closed) but sometimes produced with both the index finger and the pinky finger extended (Hoopes 1998).
		For example, older people may use more of a given variant than younger people; women may use less of a given variant than men; a given variant may occur more in the language used by working-class people than in the language of middle-class users.

		For a location map showing D’kar, where the Naro Language Project is based, please see ‘Where We Work’ under ‘Kuru Family’.

		Unfortunately, the task force language failed to emerge from the joint conference committee.

		The objectionable language came out of conference committee for the first time in the last two days of session and demonstrates the absolute necessity of: (1) actively participating in the process; (2) not letting your guard down until the session is over; and (3) having the ability to quickly react to the changing legislative environment.

		First, we examine the effect on subject/verb agreement of the use of que with plural subjects in the spoken language.
		In the spoken language this area of variation consists mainly of quantitative phrases of the type a maioria das pessoas 'most people'.

		Once on the islands, they became relatively isolated from the upheavals of the mainland, and developed a distinctive culture, language, and physical appearance.
		Their area was still small in comparison to China's conquests, but the new unity brought the Japanese into increasing contract with Chinese culture, which was entered one of its most illustrious phases.
		This was a major turning point for Japanese culture, as a written script made it possible for the Yamoto to begin to build a real bureaucracy and more firmly establish their control over their vassals.
