Since the 1990s, field of sign language typology has shown that languages exhibit typological variation at all relevant levels linguistic description. These initial comparisons were heavily skewed toward urban developed countries, mostly in Western world. This review reports on recent contributions made by rural signing varieties, is, have evolved village communities, often developing due to a high incidence deafness. With respect number structural properties, fit into previously established...
The sign language phenomenon that some scholars refer to as “agreement” has triggered controversial discussions among linguists. Crucially, it been argued display properties are at odds with the notion of agreement in spoken languages. A thorough theoretical investigation may thus add our understanding nature and limits natural language. Previous analyses can be divided into three groups: (i) gesture-based non-syntactic analyses, (ii) hybrid solutions combining syntactic semantic agreement,...
Significance One key issue in the study of human language is understanding what, if any, features individual languages may be universally accessible. Sign offer a privileged perspective on this because visual modality can help implement and detect certain properties that present but unmarked spoken languages. The current work finds fine-grained aspects verb meanings visibly emerge across unrelated sign using identical mappings between meaning form. Moreover, nonsigners lacking prior exposure...
Spoken languages employ various strategies to mark the plural of nouns, most important ones being affixation, reduplication, and zero marking; within one language, different and/or morphological markers may be used, depending on lexical, phonological, or properties base noun. In this article we present first cross-modal typological study noun pluralization. A comparison patterns found in sign languages, particular German Sign Language (DGS), those described for spoken will show that DGS with...
Abstract The expression of standard negation by means manual and/or non-manual markers has been described for a considerable number sign languages. Typological comparisons have revealed an intriguing dichotomy: while some languages require negative element in clauses (manual-dominant languages), others can be realized marker alone (in particular headshake; non-manual-dominant languages). We are here adding data from Sign Language the Netherlands (NGT) to picture, and we demonstrate that NGT...
Abstract We describe an intriguing interaction of negation and tense in Georgian Sign Language (GESL), a sign language which to date has received close no attention by linguists. GESL verbs that employ irregular strategy the present (modal verb know ) require double marking past tense, i.e. negative form combines with particle not , is used future these verbs. The data thus provide us direct evidence for active contribution feature grammar – contrast most other languages previously studied....
Unlike most spoken languages, German Sign Language (DGS) does not have a single means of reciprocal marking. Rather, different strategies are used, which crucially depend on phonological (one-handed sign vs. two-handed sign) and morphosyntactic (plain verb agreement verb) properties the underlying verb. Moreover, with plain verbs DGS shows dialectal variation. Altogether there four ways realizing marking in DGS. In this paper, we compare rule-based analysis for data (based Brentari’s 1998...
Sign language typology is the systematic comparative study of linguistic structures across sign languages, and has emerged as a separate sub-discipline over past 15 years. It situated at crossroads between linguistics, latter itself relatively young discipline with its roots in 1960s 70s (McBurney 2001). The cross-fertilisation initiated by advent obvious: Typologists gain an entirely new dimension their diversity, linguists rich tool box concepts methods for discovering typological...
