While research on conversation in signed and spoken languages has been flourishing, research on their intersection is scarce. This paper presents an ongoing project that gathers and analyses video data from deaf people's everyday interaction with hearing nonsigners and considers possibilities of involving the communication community that is at its centre and participant empowerment. The scope is to investigate the organisation and structure of communication in which linguistic resources are less accessible and in which social meaning tends to emerge from the interactants' online analysis of the local context (e.g., spatial environment, bodily configurations and movement of the interactants).
