Phonological Production in Taiwan Sign Language
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes an experiment on the production of handshape change in Taiwan Sign Language using the implicit priming experimental paradigm (Meyer 1990, 1991). The results not only provide new evidence that phonological form plays an important role in sign production, but also that the time course of sign production closely matches that predicted by a prominent model of spoken word production (Levelt, et al. 1999). The experiment further highlights important methodological considerations in the study of phonological production, not only for sign language, but for spoken language as well.

The role of syllables in sign language production
The aim of the present study was to investigate the functional role of syllables in sign language and how the different phonological combinations influence sign production. Moreover, the influence of age of acquisition was evaluated. Deaf signers (native and non-native) of Catalan Signed Language (LSC) were asked in a picture-sign interference task to sign picture names while ignoring distracto...
متن کاملMonitoring Different Phonological Parameters of Sign Language Engages the Same Cortical Language Network but Distinctive Perceptual Ones
The study of signed languages allows the dissociation of sensorimotor and cognitive neural components of the language signal. Here we investigated the neurocognitive processes underlying the monitoring of two phonological parameters of sign languages: handshape and location. Our goal was to determine if brain regions processing sensorimotor characteristics of different phonological parameters o...
متن کاملLanguage lateralization of hearing native signers: A functional transcranial Doppler sonography (fTCD) study of speech and sign production
Neuroimaging studies suggest greater involvement of the left parietal lobe in sign language compared to speech production. This stronger activation might be linked to the specific demands of sign encoding and proprioceptive monitoring. In Experiment 1 we investigate hemispheric lateralization during sign and speech generation in hearing native users of English and British Sign Language (BSL). P...
متن کاملEarly Phonological and Lexical Development of a Farsi Speaking Child: A Longitudinal Case Study
The present study aims at the description and analysis of the phonological and lexical development of a child who is acquiring Farsi as his first language. The child's language production at the holophrastic stage of language development, mainly single words, is observed and recorded longitudinally for nearly seven months since he was 16 months old until he turned 23 months. An attempt is mad...
متن کاملInsights Into the Organization of a Sign-Based Lexicon
The ‘‘tip of the fingers’’ phenomenon (TOF) for sign language parallels the ‘‘tip of the tongue’’ phenomenon (TOT) for spoken language. During a TOF, signers are sure they know a sign but cannot retrieve it. Although some theories collapse semantics and phonology in sign language and thus predict that TOFs should not occur, TOFs were elicited in the current study. Like TOTs, TOFs often resolve ...
