Kata Kolok

Kata Kolok attribution

Record who identifies a sample as Kata Kolok, their basis for doing so and any competing attribution.

1. Which community members or documented linguistic comparisons identify this sample as Kata Kolok? provenance
2. What evidence distinguishes it from another signing variety used in Bali? boundary

Contact without equivalence

Research proposes conceptual influence from Balinese and shared practices without corresponding direct calques; record the evidence and attribution of each contact claim. [De Vos, 2014](https://www.mpi.nl/publications/item2013513/absolute-spatial-deixis-and-proto-toponyms-kata-kolok)

1. Does the proposed connection concern linguistic form, spatial concepts or a shared communicative practice? definition
2. Which observations support contact rather than inheritance, coincidence or an analyst's translation choice? provenance

Form and meaning attestation

Attach candidate signs to timestamped examples and signer interpretations rather than treating Indonesian or English glosses as lexical identities.

1. Which manual and nonmanual features recur in examples assigned to this Kata Kolok sign? measurement
2. Do knowledgeable signers treat the observed differences as different signs, variants or contextual realisations? definition

Contextual grammatical analysis

Treat proposed patterns for reference, questions, negation and event participants as analyses requiring Kata Kolok evidence.

1. Which connected examples and signer judgements support the proposed construction and interpretation? provenance
2. Could the apparent pattern result from elicitation, translation or the conventions of another language? boundary

Geographical anchoring

Research describes a preference for geographical anchoring in spatial reference; annotation should retain the evidence needed to test that analysis in each example. [De Vos, 2013](https://benjamins.com/catalog/sll.16.2.08vos)

1. What were the signer's orientation, pointing direction and relevant real-world locations during this expression? measurement
2. What evidence establishes a geographical anchor rather than a temporary discourse location? boundary

Proto-toponym analysis

De Vos analyses place references as deictic proto-toponyms rather than a class of true toponyms; preserve this as an attributed analysis open to further evidence. [De Vos, 2014](https://www.mpi.nl/publications/item2013513/absolute-spatial-deixis-and-proto-toponyms-kata-kolok)

1. Does identifying the place require knowing the signer's location and pointing direction? definition
2. What happens to the expression when the signer refers to the same place from another location? measurement

Situated signing participation

Record observed Kata Kolok use across households, peer groups and other locally identified settings, including participants' other communication resources.

1. Which deaf and hearing participants use Kata Kolok in the observed setting, and how was their competence assessed? measurement
2. Which interactions involve Kata Kolok, another language or mixed practices, and who made that distinction? boundary

Transmission evidence

Assess how new signers encounter and use Kata Kolok, keeping historical descriptions separate from current observations.

1. Which younger learners have sustained access to proficient Kata Kolok signers, and in what settings? measurement
2. Which locally requested action would address an evidenced gap in learning or everyday use? action

Interpretable video evidence

Link analyses to recordings that preserve relevant hands, face, body, interaction and spatial context, with annotation history.

1. Does the recording preserve the visible and geographical information needed to evaluate this Kata Kolok interpretation? measurement
2. Which signers reviewed the annotation, and where do their interpretations disagree? provenance

Reuse readiness

Assess linguistic validation and permission separately before turning Kata Kolok footage into public examples, lessons or training data.

1. What permissions cover this recording and the specific proposed derivative use? action
2. Who can validate that the resulting material conveys the intended Kata Kolok meaning for its intended audience? action
