Modality-Independent Effects of Phonological Neighborhood Structure on Initial L2 Sign Language Learning [PDF]
, 2015 The goal of the present study was to characterize how neighborhood structure in sign language influences lexical sign acquisition in order to extend our understanding of how the lexicon influences lexical acquisition in both sign and spoken languages.

Can sign language make you better at hand processing? [PDF]
, 2018 The languages developed by deaf communities are unique for using visual signs produced by the hand. In the present study, we explored the cognitive effects of employing the hand as articulator.

Learnt Contrastive Concept Embeddings for Sign Recognition [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 In natural language processing (NLP) of spoken languages, word embeddings have been shown to be a useful method to encode the meaning of words. Sign languages are visual languages, which require sign embeddings to capture the visual and linguistic semantics of sign. Unlike many common approaches to Sign Recognition, we focus on explicitly creating sign
