  • More Than Looks

    Open AccessHannah Lutzenberger, Marisa Casillas et al.ARTICLELanguage Learning and Development2024

    The lack of diversity in the language sciences has increasingly been criticized as it holds the potential for producing flawed theories. Research on (i) geographically diverse language communities and (ii) on sign languages is necessary to corroborate, sharpen, and extend existing theories. This study contributes a case study of adapting a well-established paradigm to study the acquisition of sign phonology in Kata Kolok, a sign language of rural…

  • Development of sign phonology in Kata Kolok

    Open AccessHannah Lutzenberger, Paula Fikkert et al.ARTICLEJournal of Child Language2024

    Much like early speech, early signing is characterised by modifications. Sign language phonology has been analysed on the feature level since the 1980s, yet acquisition studies predominately examine handshape, location, and movement. This study is the first to analyse the acquisition of phonology in the sign language of a Balinese village with a vibrant signing community and applies the same feature analysis to adult and child data. We analyse lo…

  • International Sign conference interpreters as a Community of Practice

    Open AccessMaya De Wit, Onno Crasborn et al.ARTICLEMeta Journal des traducteurs2024Referências: 37

    Conference signed language interpreters traditionally work between their national sign language and the national spoken or written language. During their careers, interpreters may add other spoken or signed languages to their repertoire. Some also acquire International Sign (IS) as a working language and interpret between IS and other signed and spoken languages. Being highly context dependent, IS has limited conventions and there is no establish…

  • 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…

  • Interference

    Open AccessAurélia Nana Gassa Gonga, Onno Crasborn et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2022Citada por: 1Referências: 3

    In simultaneous interpreting studies, the concept of interference – namely, the marks of the source language in the target language – is perceived as a negative phenomenon. However, interference is likely to happen at a lexical level when the target language does not have its own lexicon. This is the case in international sign (IS), which can be defined as a mix of different sign languages, in which the lexical items are not fixed. This qualitati…

  • Searching for Signs

    Open AccessSergio Scolari, Onno Crasborn et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2022Referências: 1

    When designing a sign language dictionary or lexical database, a criterion that needs to be decided on is how to organize handshapes in the search-by-sign interface. Although notation systems do exist for indexing and searching sign entries, dictionaries do not often use them. This study investigates how to classify and order images of handshapes without relying on the alphabetical order of handshape names or phonological parameters. For this pur…

  • Formal variation in the Kata Kolok lexicon

    Open AccessHannah Lutzenberger, Connie De Vos et al.ARTICLEGlossa a journal of general…2021

    Sign language lexicons incorporate phonological specifications. Evidence from emerging sign languages suggests that phonological structure emerges gradually in a new language. In this study, we investigate variation in the form of signs across 20 deaf adult signers of Kata Kolok, a sign language that emerged spontaneously in a Balinese village community. Combining methods previously used for sign comparisons, we introduce a new numeric measure of…

  • The effect of sociolinguistic factors on variation in the Kata Kolok lexicon

    Open AccessKatie Mudd, Hannah Lutzenberger et al.ARTICLEAsia-Pacific Language Variation2020

    (International Sign) Sign languages can be categorized as shared sign languages or deaf community sign languages, depending on the context in which they emerge. It has been suggested that shared sign languages exhibit more variation in the expression of everyday concepts than deaf community sign languages ( Meir, Israel, Sandler, Padden, & Aronoff, 2012 ). For deaf community sign languages, it has been shown that various sociolinguistic factors c…

  • Human emotional vocalizations can develop in the absence of auditory learning

    Disa A Sauter, Daniel Sauter et al.ARTICLEEmotion2019

    Are emotional expressions shaped by specialized innate mechanisms that guide learning, or do they develop exclusively from learning without innate preparedness? Here we test whether nonverbal affective vocalisations produced by bilaterally congenitally deaf adults contain emotional information that is recognisable to naive listeners. Because these deaf individuals have had no opportunity for auditory learning, the presence of such an association …

  • Towards a Classification of Weak Hand Holds

    Open AccessVadim Kimmelman, Anna Sáfár et al.ARTICLEOpen Linguistics2016

    The two symmetrical manual articulators (the hands) in signed languages are a striking modalityspecific phonetic property. The weak hand can maintain the end position of an articulation while the other articulator continues to produce additional signs. This weak hand spreading (hold) has been analysed from various perspectives, highlighting its prosodic, syntactic, or discourse properties. The present study investigates corpus data from Sign Lang…

  • The prominence of spoken language elements in a sign language

    Open AccessRichard Bank, Onno Crasborn et al.ARTICLELinguistics2016Citada por: 3Referências: 36

    Code-blendsin sign languages consist of simultaneously articulated manual signs and spoken language words. These "mouthings" (typically silent articulations) have been observed for many different sign languages. The present study aims to investigate the extent of such bimodal code-mixing in sign languages by investigating the frequency of mouthings produced by deaf users of Sign Language of the Netherlands (NGT), their co-occurrence with pointing…

  • Alignment of two languages

    Open AccessRichard Bank, Onno Crasborn et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2015

    Mouthings and mouth gestures are omnipresent in Sign Language of the Netherlands (NGT). Mouthings in NGT are mouth actions that have their origin in spoken Dutch, and are usually time aligned with the signs they co-occur with. Frequently, however, they spread over one or more adjacent signs, so that one mouthing co-occurs with multiple manual signs. We conducted a corpus study to explore how frequently this occurs in NGT and whether there is any …

  • The phonology of focus in Sign Language of the Netherlands

    Open AccessOnno Crasborn, Els Van Der KooijARTICLEJournal of Linguistics2013Citada por: 4Referências: 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…

  • Signed languages and globalization

    Open AccessAnja Hiddinga, Onno CrasbornARTICLELanguage in Society2011Citada por: 5Referências: 24

    Deaf people who form part of a Deaf community communicate using a shared sign language. When meeting people from another language community, they can fall back on a flexible and highly context-dependent form of communication calledinternational sign, in which shared elements from their own sign languages and elements of shared spoken languages are combined with pantomimic elements. Together with the fact that there are few shared sign languages, …

  • Mixed Signals

    Open AccessConnie De Vos, Els Van Der Kooij et al.ARTICLELanguage and Speech2009Citada por: 5Referências: 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…
