San Juan Quiahije Chatino Sign Language (CSL) is a group of six family-based signed language varieties in rural Mexico. This study analyzes the variation of iconic patterns of CSL signs with respect to three semantic categories, tools, food, and animals, using an Embodied Cognitive Phonology framework. Signs are organized around iconic prototypes,…

Peer reviewedSandler, Wendy – Sign Language Studies, 1986
Presents a framework for representing hand signs in American Sign Language which can account for surface data in a way that explains underlying properties of sign structure. This model preserves the structural and functional importance of location, movement, and hand configuration and reveals special properties of the hand tier. (Author/SED)

Peer reviewedPulleyblank, Edwin G. – Sign Language Studies, 1987
In response to an earlier article (SLS 51) regarding duality of patterning in the evolution of language, it is suggested that all utterances of a language be coded into elementary units of meaning that could be manipulated into larger units of discourse. This method would attempt to systematize a language's constantly changing phonemic inventory.…

Peer reviewedLiddell, Scott K.; Johnson, Robert E. – Sign Language Studies, 1989
Outlines phonological structure and processes of American Sign Language (ASL), covering: (1) sequential phenomena found in the production of individual signs; (2) the segmental phonetic transcription system; (3) paradigmatic and syntagmatic contrasts in ASL signs; (4) similarities between ASL and spoken language phonological processes; and (5)…

Peer reviewedWoodward, James – Sign Language Studies, 1987
Describes single finger sign contact in data from ten different sign languages. The relative frequencies of signs using each of the four possible fingers are examined. Proposes distinctive features to explain the differences in frequency and use of these handshapes in sign languages in general. (Author/LMO)

Peer reviewedSchick, Brenda S. – Sign Language Studies, 1990
Observation of severely to profoundly deaf four- to nine-year-olds (N=24) producing three types of multi-morphemic classifier predicates in American Sign Language showed that handshape production was influenced both by morphological and syntactic complexity, while handshape errors were not based on anatomical complexity alone.
