Sign language adaptation of the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales — 21 (Dass-21)
Despite the heterogeneity of the deaf population, research shows that deaf individuals experience a high incidence of mental health problems, with high reports of depression and anxiety. This emphasizes the importance of ensuring appropriate mental health therapy. Assessment tools presented in written language or translated spontaneously into sign language could result in misdiagnosis or miscommunication due to linguistic and cultural mismatches.…
A kinematic study of phonetic reduction in a young sign language
Mapping the body to the discourse hierarchy in sign language emergence
A common feature of discourse coherence is hierarchical organization: more generally, central relations (characterizing the overall topic or goal) dominate complementary or modifying relations. In this hierarchy, higher levels tend to be marked by stronger prosodic cues than lower levels. This study seeks to understand how such a system emerges in human communication – what is present at the outset, and what takes time to develop. Specifically, w…
Emergence of a subordinate construction in a sign language
A central question in historical linguistics is how subordination emerges. Many linguists have hypothesized that diachronically subordinate constructions start off with intonational signals, and that these precede morphosyntactic markers of subordination (Givón 2012; Mithun 2009 inter alia). Contemporary spoken languages cannot provide a testing ground for this hypothesis because all of them have fully grammaticalized subordinate constructions. H…
Sign Language Prosody
Sign languages are unlike spoken languages because they are produced by a wide range of visibly perceivable articulators: the hands, the face, the head, and the body. There is as yet no consensus on the division of labour between these articulators and the linguistic elements or subsystems that they subserve. For example, certain systematic facial expressions in sign languages have been argued to be the realization of syntactic structure by some …
From a demonstrative to a relative clause marker
Demonstratives provide an important link between gesture, discourse and grammar due to their communicative function to coordinate the interlocutor’s focus of attention. This underlies their frequent cross-linguistic development into a wide range of function words and morphemes ( Diessel 1999 ). The present study provides evidence for a link between gesture and grammar by tracking diachronic development of a relative clause marker in Israeli Sign …
Visual intonation in two sign languages
In a detailed comparison of the intonational systems of two unrelated languages, Israeli Sign Language and American Sign Language, we show certain similarities as well as differences in the distribution of several articulations of different parts of the face and motions of the head. Differences between the two languages are explained on the basis of pragmatic notions related to information structure, such as accessibility and contingency, providi…
The emergence of complexity in prosody and syntax
Visual Intonation in the Prosody of a Sign Language
While visual signals that accompany spoken language serve to augment the communicative message, the same visual ingredients form the substance of the linguistic system in sign languages. This article provides an analysis of visual signals that comprise part of the intonational system of a sign language. The system is conveyed mainly by particular actions of the upper face, and is shown to pattern linguistically and predictably in Israeli Sign Lan…
