Visual Components to Interpretation—Formal Approaches to Visible Meaning
Visual components of communication interact with the core linguistic system at all levels and make an important contribution to the meaning of the utterance expressed. This does not only apply to sign languages, which exclusively rely on the visual channel, but also co‐speech gestures and emojis, which are visual means that accompany and enhance spoken and written languages respectively. Visual meaning components often have iconic properties and …
Using Eye Tracking to Examine Effects of Overt Localization on Referential Processing in German Sign Language Sentence Processing
The processing of referential expressions is influenced by their form, but also by the accessibility of their antecedents. In sign languages, discourse referents are typically assigned to referential loci (R-loci) in the signing space, which can be used to identify discourse referents later on. This study on German Sign Language (DGS) examines whether overt manual localization of a discourse referent with an index sign can be used to increase the…
Survey of the Effects of Law 21 on Students and Staff in Faculties of Education in Québec
A working group of the Observatoire sur la Formation à la Diversité et l’Équité conducted a survey of the impacts of Law 21, the Act respecting the Laicity of the State, during its first year of application on faculties and departments of education across Québec. Although the law is not supposed to affect universities or student teachers, since they are not employees of the Centres de services scolaires or school boards, findings from among the 9…

Polar response strategies across modalities
Research on spoken languages has shown that response particles may indicate the truth of a previous utterance or the polarity of the response. In responses to negative antecedents, the two functions come apart and particles become ambiguous. We present the first quantitative study on response strategies in sign languages by discussing data from a production experiment in German Sign Language ( Deutsche Gebärdensprache ; DGS). The results indicate…
Neurophysiological evidence for the first mention effect during pronominal reference resolution in German Sign Language
Anaphoric pronoun resolution in spoken language has been shown to be influenced by the first mention bias. While this bias has been well investigated in spoken languages, less is known about a similar bias in sign languages. In sign languages, pronominal pointing signs ( index ) are directed towards referential locations in the signing space typically associated with discourse referents. In German Sign Language (DGS), signers follow an ipsi-contr…
At-issueness across modalities – are gestural components (more) at-issue in sign languages
Angry lions and scared neighbors
Sign languages make use of the full expressive power of the visual-gestural modality to report the utterances and/or actions of another person. A signer can shift into the perspective of one or more persons and reproduce the utterances or actions from the perspective of these persons. This modality-specific device of utterance and action report is called role shift or constructed action. Especially in sign language narration, role shift is a prod…
Initial person reference in Providence Island Sign Language
When referring to non-present entities, speakers and signers can select from a range of different strategies to create expressions that range from extremely concise to highly elaborate. This design of referring expressions is based partly on the availability of contextual information that can aid addressee understanding. In the small signing community of Providence Island, signers’ heavy reliance on extra-linguistic information has led to their l…
Phonological priming in German Sign Language
A number of studies provide evidence for a phonological priming effect in the recognition of single signs based on phonological parameters and that the specific phonological parameters modulated in the priming effect can influence the robustness of this effect. This eye tracking study on German Sign Language examined phonological priming effects at the sentence level, while varying the phonological relationship between prime-target sign pairs. We…
Perspective Shift Across Modalities
Languages offer various ways to present what someone said, thought, imagined, felt, and so on from their perspective. The prototypical example of a perspective-shifting device is direct quotation. In this review we define perspective shift in terms of indexical shift: A direct quotation like “Selena said, ‘Oh, I don't know.’” involves perspective shift because the first-person indexical ‘I’ refers to Selena, not to the actual speaker. We then dis…
Signs activate their written word translation in deaf adults
Since signs and words are perceived and produced in distinct sensory-motor systems, they do not share a phonological basis. Nevertheless, many deaf bilinguals master a spoken language with input merely based on visual cues like mouth representations of spoken words and orthographic representations of written words. Recent findings further suggest that processing of words involves cross-language cross-modal co-activation of signs in deaf and heari…
A DRT Analysis of Discourse Referents and Anaphora Resolution in Sign Language
Sign languages use the horizontal plane of the signing space to introduce discourse referents at particular referential loci (R-loci). R-loci could be viewed as abstract referential indices also known from spoken language grammar. However, in sign languages the spatial relations between R-loci appear to be exploited in establishing anaphoric relations between discourse referents, thus reducing ambiguities. In this article, we propose a feature-dr…

Ambiguities in sign languages
Natural languages come in two different modalities – the aural-auditory modality of spoken languages and the visual-gestural modality of sign languages. The impact of modality on the grammatical system has been discussed at great length in the last 20 years. By contrast, the impact of modality on semantics in general and on ambiguities in particular has not yet been addressed in detail. In this paper, we deal with different types of ambiguities i…

Voices of children and parents from elsewhere
This study involves 35 research participants: 20 immigrant parents (primarily mothers from South America, North Africa, Eastern Europe and the Middle East) and 15 primary school children, aged 10–11. These children were born outside Italy and primary school was their first encounter with the Italian educational system. We observed their processes of integration through their stories and those of their parents. Our investigation aims to identify f…

Middle Voice
This book offers a completely new analysis of the syntax and semantics of transitive reflexive sentences in German, which is embedded in the major phenomenon of the middle voice in Indo-European languages. It integrates the interpretation of non-argument reflexives into a modified version of recent theories of binding. The ambiguity of the reflexive pronoun is derived at the interface between syntax and semantics and does not rely on additional l…

Integrated parentheticals and assertional complements
German has three different kinds of verb-first integrated parentheticals (VIPs), which differ from other kinds of parentheticals in several respects: (i) VIPs have verb-first order; (ii) they form one focus-background-structure with their host; (iii) the proposition expressed by the host is linked to the implicit propositional argument of the parenthetical predicate; (iv) VIP-constructions are hybrid structures with two clauses mutually depending…

Desintegration und Interpretation
In spoken varieties of German, causal adverbial clauses introduced by weil are frequently used with V2 order. Interestingly, weil -V2 clauses are not simply a colloquial variant of standard verb-final clauses, but have also many specific syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic properties. On the one hand, weil -V2 clauses differ systematically from their verb-final counterparts. While V2 clauses yield causal interpretations not available for the corre…
