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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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. …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
