Comparing Iconicity Trade-Offs in Cena and Libras during a Sign Language Production Task
Languages, 2022 Although classifier constructions generally aim for highly iconic depictions, like any other part of language they may be constrained by phonology. We compare utterances containing motion events between signers of Cena, an emerging rural sign language in

Phonology Recognition in American Sign Language
ICASSP 2022 - 2022 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP), 2022 Inspired by recent developments in natural language processing, we propose a novel approach to sign language processing based on phonological properties validated by American Sign Language users. By taking advantage of datasets composed of phonological data and people speaking sign language, we use a pretrained deep model based on mesh reconstruction ...

Phonological Awareness for American Sign Language [PDF]
Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, 2014 This paper examines the concept of phonological awareness (PA) as it relates to the processing of American Sign Language (ASL). We present data from a recently developed test of PA for ASL and examine whether sign language experience impacts the use of metalinguistic routines necessary for completion of our task. Our data show that deaf signers exposed

The first signs of language: Phonological development in British Sign Language [PDF]
Applied Psycholinguistics, 2007 A total of 1,018 signs in one deaf child's naturalistic interaction with her deaf mother, between the ages of 19 and 24 months were analyzed. This study summarizes regular modification processes in the phonology of the child sign's handshape, location, movement, and prosody.

Phonological reduplication in sign language: Rules rule [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2014 Productivity-the hallmark of linguistic competence-is typically attributed to algebraic rules that support broad generalizations. Past research on spoken language has documented such generalizations in both adults and infants. But whether algebraic rules form part of the linguistic competence of signers remains unknown.

Measuring sign complexity: Comparing a model-driven and an error-driven approach
Laboratory Phonology, 2022 The study of articulatory complexity has proven to yield useful insights into the phonological mechanisms of spoken languages. In sign languages, this type of knowledge is scarcely documented.
