Incorporating Physical Exercise and Job Crafting to Buffer Cardiovascular Disease and Job Boredom in Video Remote Educational Sign Language Interpreting
Get PDFOver the past decade, research has demonstrated that sign language interpreters are experiencing stress and burnout at high levels, causing them to prematurely leave the profession (Schwenke, 2012; Dean & Pollard, Jr., 2001; Heller, Stansfield, Stark, & Langholtz, 1986). Interpreters are at risk for developing cardiovascular disease (CVD) (Gerber et al., 2016) due to factors such as emotional exhaustion, dissatisfaction, high demands on the job (Dean & Pollard, Jr., 2001), and job boredom (Harju, Hakanen, & Schaufeli, 2014). Theorists explain how workplace environmental variables predict stress related to job boredom through the demand-control schema (Dean & Pollard, Jr., 2001) and conservation of resources (Harju, Hakanen, & Schaufeli, 2014). Theorists advocate for a comprehensive approach to deal with work-related stress by involving both the employer and the individual (Dean & Pollard, Jr., 2001; Maslach & Jackson, 1981). High levels of physical activity protects and buffers stressful events (Gerber et al., 2016). Job crafting can reduce stressful conditions related to job boredom, sustaining the well being of an employee (Harju, Hakanen, & Schaufeli, 2016). New interpreters entering into the video remote educational interpreting profession can benefit from understanding the physiological consequences of stress related to job boredom and specific interventions aimed at building resilience to fighting stress. This action research project evaluates using physical exercise and job crafting as a way for me to combat stress related to job boredom in the video remote educational setting

Feeling Phonology: The conventionalization of phonology in protactile communities in the United States
No full textA new phonological system is becoming conventional across a group of DeafBlind signers in the United States, who communicate via reciprocal, tactile channels--a practice known as Protactile . The recent conventionalization of protactile phonology is analyzed in this paper. Research on emergent visual signed languages has demonstrated that conventionalization is not a single monolithic process, but a complex of principles involving patterns of distribution--discreteness, stability, and productivity of form--as form becomes linked with meaning in increasingly stable ways. Conventionalization of protactile phonology involves assigning specific grammatical roles to the four hands (and arms) of Signer 1 ( conveyer ) and Signer 2 ( receiver ) in proprioceptive constructions (PCs)--comparable to classifier constructions in visual signed languages. Analyzing PCs offers new insights into how the conventionalization of a phonological system can play out in the tactile modality
