Peer reviewedGrosjean, Francois; And Others – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 1981
Native users of American Sign Language manipulated sentences in four ways: sign them at slow rate, parse them, make relatedness judgments of pairs of signs taken from each sentence, and recall the sentences. Hierarchical performance structures for each of the sentences were highly similar across tasks. (Author/RD)

Peer reviewedTaub, Sarah; Galvan, Dennis – Sign Language Studies, 2001
Looks at patterns of conceptual encoding in American Sign Language (ASL), drawing from adults' retellings of a story. Results suggest that ASL encodes a great deal of conceptual information about motion events, significantly more than English and presumably more than most other spoken languages. (Author/VWL)
