Modal and Focus Particles in Sign Languages. A Cross-Linguistic Study

open access: yes, 2014
Bringing together the research fields of sign language linguistics and information structure, this bookfocuses onthe realization of modal particles and focus particles in three European sign languages: German Sign Language, Sign Language of the ...

Lexical organization in deaf children who use British Sign Language: Evidence from a semantic fluency task [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We adapted the semantic fluency task into British Sign Language (BSL). In Study 1, we present data from twenty-two deaf signers aged four to fifteen. We show that the same ‘cognitive signatures’ that characterize this task in spoken languages are also ...

Challenges with sign language datasets for sign language recognition and translation

open access: yes, 2022
Sign Languages (SLs) are the primary means of communication for at least half a million people in Europe alone. However, the development of SL recognition and translation tools is slowed down by a series of obstacles concerning resource scarcity and standardization issues in the available data.

Pre‐analytical optimization of cell‐free DNA and extracellular vesicle‐derived DNA for mutation detection in liquid biopsies

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Pre‐analytical handling critically determines liquid biopsy performance. This study defines practical best‐practice conditions for cell‐free DNA (cfDNA) and extracellular vesicle–derived DNA (evDNA), showing how processing time, storage conditions, tube type, and plasma input volume affect DNA integrity and mutation detection.

Sign languages of the Soviet Union: a comparison of Georgian, Russian, and Tajik Sign Languages

open access: yesOpen Linguistics
Many signing communities in countries that once formed part of the Soviet Union share a common deaf institutional history. The sign languages of these communities have been influenced by Russian Sign Language, which was taught and used to varying degrees

The signing brain: the neurobiology of sign language

open access: yesTrends in Cognitive Sciences, 2008
Most of our knowledge about the neurobiological bases of language comes from studies of spoken languages. By studying signed languages, we can determine whether what we have learnt so far is characteristic of language per se or whether it is specific to languages that are spoken and heard.

EDNRB‐dependent endothelin signaling reduces proliferation and promotes proneural‐to‐mesenchymal transition in gliomas

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Glioma cells mainly express the endothelin receptor EDNRB, while EDNRA is restricted to a perivascular tumor subpopulation. Endothelin signaling reduces glioma cell proliferation while promoting migration and a proneural‐to‐mesenchymal transition associated with poor prognosis. This pathway activates Ca2+, K+, ERK, and STAT3 signalings and is regulated

New Insights Into Mouthings: Evidence From a Corpus-Based Study of Russian Sign Language

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2022
While some aspects of mouthings have been previously investigated, many topics in the use of this cross-modal contact phenomenon in sign languages remain un(der)studied, and not much is known about mouthings in Russian Sign Language (RSL), in particular.
