Pragmatics of spatial descriptions: Sign language loci
In many areas in linguistic study it is difficult to decide where the study of language ends and the study of other aspects of human cognition begins. In this article, we discuss a particularly striking case of this, the use of the signing space (loci) for marking linguistic relations. The use of loci in the nominal and verbal domains has received a wide range of analyses, from those considering loci to be abstract linguistic mechanisms such as s…
Potentially recursive structures emerge quickly when a new language community forms
From Seed to System: The Emergence of Non-Manual Markers for Wh-Questions in Nicaraguan Sign Language
At a language's inception, what determines which elements are taken up to build a grammar? How is the initial raw material reshaped through intergenerational language learning? We approached this question by focusing on the emergence of non-manual wh-question markers in Nicaraguan Sign Language (LSN), a young sign language. We asked whether the seeds of non-manual markers originate in the facial gestures of the hearing Nicaraguan community, and w…
