Sign Language Processing

Abstract

Abstract Sign languages present a unique and natural opportunity to investigate the cognitive mechanisms of language comprehension and production, particularly in terms of their universality. Sign‐speech comparisons can lead to important theoretical insights about language processing. In the present paper, we enquire about the processing – recognition and production – of sign languages with special attention to the effects of age of acquisition and iconicity. Our aim is to provide a review of current findings about the psychological processes involved in sign language processing examining what aspects may be universal and what aspects are affected by modality.
