Morphophonologische Unterschiede in Nomen-Verb-Paaren in der Deutschen Gebärdensprache (DGS)

In der modernen Ling­uistik herrscht weitestgehend Einig­keit darüber, dass alle Spra­chen der Welt zu­min­dest über Kate­gorien Anlog zu Nomen und Verben ver­fügen. In­wiefern diese beiden Kate­gorien in unter­schied­lichen Sprachen morpho­logisch …

Gestural demonstrations as a possible marker of part of speech in German Sign Language (DGS)

The iconic potential of the visuo-spatial modality allows for a direct mapping between different aspects of meaning and the morphophonological form of a signed utterance (Perniss et al., 2010; Schlenker 2018). Yet, in contrast to speech and co-speech …

What could a collaborative “DGS-LEX” look like?

In this short impulse talk, I will explore what a collaboratively created ‘DGS-LEX’ could look like and how we could get to the point of having such a resource for German Sign Language (DGS)---which is currently still missing---publicly available to …

Wortarten und Ikonizität in der Deutschen Gebärdensprache (DGS)

In diesem Vor­trag werden wir das von der Deutschen Forschungs­gemein­schaft (DFG) im Rahmen des Schwer­punkt­programms „Visu­elle Kommu­nikation“ (ViCom) geförderte Projekt „Wort­arten und Ikonizität in der Deutschen …

Neuroimaging data in the “ViCom” Open Science Data Network

In this short impulse talk, I'll discuss existing solutions for data organisation, storage, and publication such as the Brain Imaging Data Structure (BIDS) and the Open Science Framework (OSF) and how they may be utilized in the context of ViCom. …

Neurobiology of spoken, written, and sign language processing

The human capacity for language is best described as a biologically determined computational mechanism yielding an unbounded array of hierarchically structured expressions and should not be conflated with notions of “speech” or “communication”. The …

Can detection of extraneous visual signals reveal the syntactic structure of sign language?

Background The ability to combine individual lexical items into phrases and sentences is at the core of the human capacity for language (Friederici et al., 2017). Linguistic research indicates that the world’s sign languages exhibit complex …

Functional neuroanatomy of sign language in deaf signers: Activation Likelihood Estimation meta-analysis and Meta-Analytic Connectivity Mapping

The neurophysiological response during comprehension and production of sign language has been studied using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) since the advent of neuroimaging. Deaf signers have been …

A meta-analytic perspective on data sharing and reproducibility in cognitive neuroscience of sign language

The acquisition of most neuroimaging data and especially magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data is laborious and cost-intensive. Nevertheless, the practice of data sharing is not commonplace in the field of cognitive neuroscience of sign language. We …
