Iconicity and metaphor in sign language poetry
This paper explores a unique relationship between iconicity and metaphor: that seen in creative sign language, where iconic properties abound at all levels of linguistic representation. We use the idea of ‘iconic superstructure’ to consider the way that metaphoric meaning is generated through the iconic properties of creative sign language. We focus on the interaction between the overall contex...
متن کاملIconicity and Arbitrariness in Italian Sign Language
T studies recognizing sign languages as full-fledged languages (Stokoe ; Klima and Bellugi ) were undertaken while the formal linguistic paradigm was evolving. Within the formal linguistics framework it was assumed that what distinguishes language is that it is generated—independently from every interaction with other cognitive activity—by a separate part of the brain. If this i...
متن کاملModality Effects Revisited: Iconicity in Chinese Sign Language
Tai (2005) argues for the importance of iconicity as a fundamental property of language, illustrating the modality effects of iconicity through the study of a set of iconic devices used in Taiwan Sign Language (TSL). This paper extends Tai’s research, in exploring the iconic devices used in another Asian sign language, Chinese Sign Language (CSL). Some preliminary comparisons are made in this p...
متن کاملApplying mean shift and motion detection approaches to hand tracking in sign language
Hand gesture recognition is very important to communicate in sign language. In this paper, an effective object tracking and hand gesture recognition method is proposed. This method is combination of two well-known approaches, the mean shift and the motion detection algorithm. The mean shift algorithm can track objects based on the color, then when hand passes the face occlusion happens. Several...
متن کاملThe role of sign phonology and iconicity during sign processing: the case of deaf children.
To investigate the influence of sign phonology and iconicity during sign processing in deaf children, the roles of these sign features were examined using an experimental sign-picture verification paradigm. Participants had to make decisions about sign-picture pairs, manipulated according to phonological sign features (i.e., hand shape, movement, and location) and iconic sign features (i.e., tr...
