Sign languages has marked and unmarked signs and both hands may be used. They do have little sequential morphology however. Most morphology happens at the same time.  ]]> 2020-11-12 13:18:58 UTC https://padlet.com/nivjadejong/sign/wish/916276282 Syntactically karinvdb96 https://padlet.com/nivjadejong/sign/wish/916276874 Head movements can indicated negation (head shake), yes/no or wh-questions (eyebrow raise, frowning) ]]> 2020-11-12 13:19:08 UTC https://padlet.com/nivjadejong/sign/wish/916276874 https://padlet.com/nivjadejong/sign/wish/916278370 Iconicity: native signers sign faster than L2 signers when a sign

For example, most (all?) spoken languages have wh-movement, but sign languages often do not move their wh-marker to the front (hand sign, eyebrow rais, head tilt, frown). It can even be placed both at the start and end of the utterance]]> 2020-11-12 13:22:24 UTC https://padlet.com/nivjadejong/sign/wish/916288320 legal limitations: all well-formed signs must have a movement, just as spoken words have syllabic nuclei; only specific movement sequences are allowed and only a limitednumber of handshapes areconsidered legal in a particular sign language. mireillestoep https://padlet.com/nivjadejong/sign/wish/916289265 2020-11-12 13:22:40 UTC https://padlet.com/nivjadejong/sign/wish/916289265 https://padlet.com/nivjadejong/sign/wish/916290414 Some generalizations and typological classifications do still hold including SLs, but some generalizations and proposed language universals may have to be reconsidered.]]> 2020-11-12 13:22:57 UTC https://padlet.com/nivjadejong/sign/wish/916290414 mireillestoep https://padlet.com/nivjadejong/sign/wish/916291657 2020-11-12 13:23:17 UTC https://padlet.com/nivjadejong/sign/wish/916291657 https://padlet.com/nivjadejong/sign/wish/916298152 The didactic approach to teaching the American signed language to students based on similarities and differences between signed and spoken languages, including the lack of a suitable writing system.]]> 2020-11-12 13:24:58 UTC https://padlet.com/nivjadejong/sign/wish/916298152 Two-handed signs karinvdb96 https://padlet.com/nivjadejong/sign/wish/916300515 Phonological constraint: when making a sign with movement of both hands, generally they move in the same direction and have the same shape]]> 2020-11-12 13:25:38 UTC https://padlet.com/nivjadejong/sign/wish/916300515 Iconicity nschotman1 https://padlet.com/nivjadejong/sign/wish/916309425 Sign language is more iconic than oral language. Even though it is iconic, these icons may differ per sign language.

This indicates that mechanisms of language processing – either spoken or signed – are universal and not very much affected by the modality in which the language is produced. mireillestoep https://padlet.com/nivjadejong/sign/wish/916311284 2020-11-12 13:28:38 UTC https://padlet.com/nivjadejong/sign/wish/916311284 https://padlet.com/nivjadejong/sign/wish/916311464 the aim of the paper was to compare speech language and sign language on various grounds. It turns out that the psychological processes are universal. The results show that sign language is (in most cases) similar to spoken language in comprehensionand in production. However, there is a lack of research in sign language processing.

These data suggest that non-native signers may experience difficulty at the level of phonological processing, relative to native signers. mireillestoep https://padlet.com/nivjadejong/sign/wish/916312809 2020-11-12 13:29:04 UTC https://padlet.com/nivjadejong/sign/wish/916312809 Non-signs are usually created from signs by changing one of the parameters –the location, handshape or movement – so that the result is not a legal sign in that particularsign language. As in oral languages, lexicality effects have been found in sign languages, sothat response times to non-signs in a lexical decision task are slower than those to realsigns mireillestoep https://padlet.com/nivjadejong/sign/wish/916314388 2020-11-12 13:29:31 UTC https://padlet.com/nivjadejong/sign/wish/916314388 Reading https://padlet.com/nivjadejong/sign/wish/916317021 Could learning to read be considered similar to learning an L2 for Deaf people?]]> 2020-11-12 13:30:14 UTC https://padlet.com/nivjadejong/sign/wish/916317021 Spatial use for pronouns (deixis) karinvdb96 https://padlet.com/nivjadejong/sign/wish/916318175 I/me directed towards signer, you directed towards interlocutor,
