Annotation

This paper examines in detail how humour is negotiated in conversations among deafblind Australians who are fluent users of tactile Australian Sign Language (Auslan). Drawing on Conversation Analytic principles, it outlines the ad hoc and more conventionalised signals deafblind signers employ to signal amusement.
