The use of the word order of television news sign language interpreters in a program has a close relationship with the deaf audience's ability to understand the news content.And now,the studies on the word order of natural sign language help us understand the current situation of the interpreter's use of word order in sign language.However,on the one hand,there haven't been any research on how the sign language usage of sign language interpreters in television programs is used which is based on the Chinese word order or natural sign language.On the other hand,It's unknown whether the differences in the identity of interpreters,listeners and interpreters in TV news programs is related to the word order of sign language.This study focuses on the hearing interpreter in the News Sign Language,and the deaf interpreter in the Xiao Rui Talk News.After collecting all the simple sentences used in the two programs,the study compares and analyzes the different word orders used by the deaf and hearing interpreters in a whole,as well as paying attention to the effect of different verbs make on the order.The data shows that,the order of SVO is mostly used by listener and deaf interpreter in both two programs,which means that the natural sign order is seldom to be used in the programs.Another similarity is that different verbs have little effect on the two interpreters' sign order.According to the data,the biggest difference between these two programs is that the deaf interpreter has fewer omissions,while the listener often lefts out some important news in translation.The further analysis suggests that the problem may be caused by the news manuscripts,which are written by Chinese order,and it also has some relationship with the sign experience of the interpreters.In order to understand the relationship between different verb types of sign language and the order of natural sign language,comparing it with the word order used by deaf and hearing interpreter in two programs,at the same time,this studyinvestigates the natural sign language order in a picture-induced way.The study found that different verbs in sign language affect the word order of natural sign language.Specifically speaking,the sign language order of simple verbs is flexible;OSV and SVO these two types of word order occupy the high frequency in the consistent verb sentence and space verb sentence;The verb-object sentence pattern mainly presents the SV order,which proves that the simultaneity feature of sign language exists.The SV object order of Chinese appears mostly in simple verb sentences.The frequency of occurrence in the consistent verb sentence is reduced,and it is rarely used in spatial verb sentences.In addition,when the subject is placed at the beginning of the sentence and the predicate is placed at the end of the sentence,it is common for the deaf people to use natural sign language.The data also shows that the position of the object is not fixed.Based on the above rules,the article compares the word order used by the deaf and hearing interpreters in the two programs with natural sign language,and can provide some inspiration to interpreters and standardization of Chinese sign language to some extent.
