Hands in Motion

Teanga: The Journal of the Irish Association for Applied Linguistics, 2020
Irish Sign Language uses a one-handed alphabet in which each fingerspelled letter has a unique combination of handshape, orientation, and, in a few cases, path movement.

The Development and Evaluation of a New ASL Text Comprehension Task

Frontiers in Communication, 2020
Being able to comprehend a language entails not only mastery of its syntax, lexicon, or phonology, but also the ability to use language to construct meaning, draw inferences, and make connections to world knowledge. However, most available assessments of

Schooling Trajectories and the Development of Brain Dynamics: A Comparative Study of Montessori and Traditional Education

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We investigate whether Montessori and traditional schooling systems shape the developmental trajectory of large‐scale brain dynamics in different ways. We quantify the arrow of time (“non‐reversibility”) in neural activity during resting state and movie‐watching, revealing distinct maturational patterns.

Testing the Event Visibility Hypothesis in Austrian Sign Language (ÖGS)

Language and Cognition
In sign languages, aspects of event structure have been shown to be systematically reflected in the phonological structure of verb signs, as proposed by the Event Visibility Hypothesis (EVH).

Phonological Proximity in Costa Rican Sign Language [PDF]

Electronics, 2020
The study of phonological proximity makes it possible to establish a basis for future decision-making in the treatment of sign languages. Knowing how close a set of signs are allows the interested party to decide more easily its study by clustering, as well as the teaching of the language to third parties based on similarities. In addition, it lays the

Foreign Language Learning in Older Adults Modifies Resting‐State Functional Connectivity Between the Subcortical Structures and the Cortex

AGING MEDICINE, EarlyView.
Foreign language learning in older adults reorganizes thalamic and caudate connectivity, in a process topographically overlapping with the expression of receptors and genes related to neuroplasticity. ABSTRACT Objectives Neuroimaging studies suggest that Foreign Language Learning (FLL) influences resting‐state functional connectivity (rs‐FC) within the

On Sign Language and the Mora : Is the Mora Necessary in Sign Language? [PDF]

, 2008
There are a number of ways to show sign language in phonology. Two of these are the MP model (the Movement Position Model) and the MH model (the Move-hold Model), which are compared in this paper in order to determine which model is more appropriate.

Language and Repetition Performance in Autism Spectrum Disorder Versus Developmental Language Disorder: Evidence From Turkish‐Speaking Children

Autism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by persistent differences in social communication and interaction, as well as restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior, interests, or activities. Language difficulties are common in autism and can affect multiple domains, including phonology, morphology ...

Differences in Immediate and Delayed Suggestibility Among Children With Dyslexia and Controls

Behavioral Sciences &the Law, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The primary aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between dyslexia and suggestibility in children, and the extent to which this relationship is accounted for by performance on Word Tasks. Participants comprised 95 children with dyslexia and 109 controls.

Towards a Robuster Interpretive Parsing [PDF]

, 2013
The input data to grammar learning algorithms often consist of overt forms that do not contain full structural descriptions. This lack of information may contribute to the failure of learning. Past work on Optimality Theory introduced Robust Interpretive
