The study of childhood deafness offers researchers many interesting insights into the role of experience and sensory inputs for the development of language and cognition. This volume provides a state of the art look at these questions and how they are being applied in the areas of clinical and… read more[Trends in Language Acquisition Research, 25] 2020. xv, 214 pp.
Directions in Sign Language Acquisition
Edited by Gary Morgan and Bencie Woll
As the first book of its kind, this volume with contributions from many well known scholars brings together some of the most recent original work on sign language acquisition in children learning a variety of different signed languages (i.e., Brazilian Sign Language, American SL, SL of the… read more[Trends in Language Acquisition Research, 2] 2002. xx, 339 pp.
2020 Chapter 1. Deafness, cognition and language: Developmental perspectives Understanding Deafness, Language and Cognitive Development: Essays in honour of Bencie Woll, Morgan, Gary (ed.), pp. 1–13 | Chapter
This opening chapter sets the scene for the volume by describing in the first section what researchers mean by a native user of a signed language, and what differences exist between the deaf child who has deaf parents and those in the vast majority of cases from hearing families. This experience… read more
2020 Chapter 7. Links between language and cognitive development of deaf children Understanding Deafness, Language and Cognitive Development: Essays in honour of Bencie Woll, Morgan, Gary (ed.), pp. 115–131 | Chapter
This chapter weaves together work on early interaction between parents and children who are deaf or hard of hearing (DHH) with research on social-emotional development (Theory of Mind) and wider cognitive abilities (Executive Functions). We describe in detail why language input in sign or spoken… read more
2019 Emotion recognition skills in children with hearing loss: What is the role of language? Atypical Language Development in Romance Languages, Aguilar-Mediavilla, Eva, Lucía Buil-Legaz, Raúl López-Penadés, Victor A. Sanchez-Azanza and Daniel Adrover-Roig (eds.), pp. 169–184 | Chapter
Previous studies have found a deficit in emotion recognition skills in children with hearing loss linked to their linguistic development. Our aim is to explore how different linguistic-communicative skills influence the capacity to recognise emotions from faces, at different developmental points,… read more
2017 Deaf and hearing children’s picture naming: Impact of age of acquisition and language modality on representational gesture The gesture–sign interface in language acquisition / L’interface geste–signe dans l’acquisition du langage, Morgenstern, Aliyah and Michèle Guidetti (eds.), pp. 69–88 | Article
Stefanini, Bello, Caselli, Iverson, & Volterra (2009) reported that Italian 24–36 month old children use a high proportion of representational gestures to accompany their spoken responses when labelling pictures. The two studies reported here used the same naming task with (1) typically… read more
2016 Trying to make sense of language synthesis: What bilingualism and multimodality together reveal about language representation and use Epistemological issue with keynote article “The development of bimodal bilingualism: Implications for linguistic theory” by Diane Lillo-Martin, Ronice Müller de Quadros and Deborah Chen Pichler, pp. 799–801 | Commentary
2011 Iconic gesture and speech integration in younger and older adults Gesture 11:1, pp. 24–39 | Article
This study investigated the impact of age on iconic gesture and speech integration. The performance of a group of older adults (60–76 years) and a group of younger adults (22–30 years) were compared on a task which required the comprehension of information presented in 3 different conditions:… read more
2011 What can co-speech gestures in aphasia tell us about the relationship between language and gesture? A single case study of a participant with Conduction Aphasia Gesture 11:2, pp. 123–147 | Article
Cross-linguistic evidence suggests that language typology influences how people gesture when using ‘manner-of-motion’ verbs (Kita 2000; Kita & Özyürek 2003) and that this is due to ‘online’ lexical and syntactic choices made at the time of speaking (Kita, Özyürek, Allen, Brown, Furman & Ishizuka,… read more
2010 Comparing child and adult development of a visual phonological system Acquiring Sign Language as a First Language / Acquisition d’une langue des signes comme langue première, Sallandre, Marie-Anne and Marion Blondel (eds.), pp. 67–81 | Article
Research has documented systematic articulation differences in young children’s first signs compared with the adult input. Explanations range from the implementation of phonological processes, cognitive limitations and motor immaturity. One way of disentangling these possible explanations is to… read more

This paper describes some general difficulties in analysing child sign language data with an emphasis on the process of transcription. The particular issue of capturing how signers encode simultaneity in narrative is discussed.

2002 Children’s encoding of simultaneity in British Sign Language narratives Sign Language & Linguistics 5:2, pp. 131–165 | Article
Narrative discourse in BSL is first analyzed in an adult signer by describing how fixed and shifted sign space is used for reference and the encoding of simultaneity. Although children as young as 4 years old use parts of these sign spaces in isolation their combined use in encoding simultaneity in… read more
