  • Units of sub-sign meaning in NGT

    Open AccessInge Zwitserlood, Els Van Der Kooij et al.ARTICLESign Language & Linguistics2023

    This paper provides an overview of all the meaningful sub-sign form units (form-meaning units; FMUs) in lexical signs in Sign Language of the Netherlands (NGT). We investigated the potential meaning of all form features that were previously established in analyses of NGT form by analyzing their distribution in lexical signs. The data set consisted of 500 NGT signs in the lexical database Global Signbank, and a set of 163 elicited newly-formed lex…

  • Strategies for new word formation in NGT

    Open AccessEls Van Der Kooij, Inge Zwitserlood et al.ARTICLESign Language & Linguistics2023

    How do new words arise in a sign language? We present an empirical study of newly formed words in Sign Language of the Netherlands (NGT). Five signers were asked to create new forms for known concepts for which word forms exist in NGT. Participants used sequential strategies for word formation, also found in spoken languages. More frequently, however, they used simultaneous strategies, some of which are unique for the visual-manual modality. We d…

  • The phonology of focus in Sign Language of the Netherlands

    Open AccessOnno Crasborn, Els Van Der KooijARTICLEJournal of Linguistics2013Cited by: 4References: 16

    Signed languages are similar to spoken languages in the overall organisation of their grammars, displaying a prosodic level of organisation that is not isomorphic to the syntactic organisation. Their rich inventory of manual and non-manual features allows for a prolific range of functions if used prosodically. New data from Sign Language of the Netherlands (NGT, Nederlandse Gebarentaal) are discussed to demonstrate that focused constituents are n…

  • Mixed Signals

    Open AccessConnie De Vos, Els Van Der Kooij et al.ARTICLELanguage and Speech2009Cited by: 5References: 24

    The eyebrows are used as conversational signals in face-to-face spoken interaction (Ekman, 1979). In Sign Language of the Netherlands (NGT), the eyebrows are typically furrowed in content questions, and raised in polar questions (Coerts, 1992). On the other hand, these eyebrow positions are also associated with anger and surprise, respectively, in general human communication (Ekman, 1993). This overlap in the functional load of the eyebrow positi…

  • Sharing sign language data online

    Onno Crasborn, Onno A Crasborn et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of Corpus…2007Cited by: 6References: 1

    This article describes how new technological possibilities allow sign language researchers to share and publish video data and transcriptions online. Both linguistic and technological aspects of creating and publishing a sign language corpus are discussed, and standards are proposed for both metadata and transcription categories specific to sign language data. In addition, ethical aspects of publishing video data of signers online are considered,…

  • Contact

    Open AccessEls Van Der KooijARTICLELinguistics in the Netherlands1997

    In early, simultaneous analyses of signs, [a_contact] is a multivalent feature pertaining to the movement parameter (cf. Friedman 1976). In models that make use of sequential units (Liddell and Johnson 1989, Sandler 1989, Perlmutter 1989, van der Hulst 1993) the valence of [contact] can be reduced to one. In comparing two types of sequential models I will show that one of them - the No-Movement model -is more adequate in accounting for the contac…
