Input processing at first exposure to a sign language
There is growing interest in learners’ cognitive capacities to process a second language (L2) at first exposure to the target language. Evidence suggests that L2 learners are capable of processing novel words by exploiting phonological information from their first language (L1). Hearing adult learners of a sign language, however, cannot fall back on their L1 to process novel signs because the m...
متن کاملFirst Language Activation during Second Language Lexical Processing in a Sentential Context
Lexicalization-patterns, the way words are mapped onto concepts, differ from one language to another. This study investigated the influence of first language (L1) lexicalization patterns on the processing of second language (L2) words in sentential contexts by both less proficient and more proficient Persian learners of English. The focus was on cases where two different senses of a polys...
متن کاملNeural Language Processing in Adolescent First-Language Learners: Longitudinal Case Studies in American Sign Language.
One key question in neurolinguistics is the extent to which the neural processing system for language requires linguistic experience during early life to develop fully. We conducted a longitudinal anatomically constrained magnetoencephalography (aMEG) analysis of lexico-semantic processing in 2 deaf adolescents who had no sustained language input until 14 years of age, when they became fully im...
متن کاملCan sign language make you better at hand processing?
The languages developed by deaf communities are unique for using visual signs produced by the hand. In the present study, we explored the cognitive effects of employing the hand as articulator. We focused on the arbitrariness of the form-meaning relationship-a fundamental feature of natural languages-and asked whether sign languages change the processing of arbitrary non-linguistic stimulus-res...
متن کاملA SignWriting-Based Approach to Sign Language Processing
The SignWriting system is a practical writing system for deaf sign languages, composed of a set of intuitive graphical-schematic symbols and simple rules for combining them to represent signs. The SignWriting Markup Language (SWML) is an XML-based language for encoding sign language texts, written in SignWriting, in an application and computer platform independent way. Thus, sign language texts...
