In an exploratory study of mutual intelligibility between the sign languages
of the northern part of Belgium (Flemish Sign Language, VGT), the southern
part of Belgium (French Belgian Sign Language, LSFB), and the Netherlands
(Sign Language of the Netherlands, NGT), we tested the comprehension of VGT by
signers of LSFB and NGT. In order to measure the influence of iconic structures
(classifier constructions and constructed action) that linguistic analyses have
shown to be similar across different sign languages, two genres were compared:
narrative and informative signing. To investigate the effect of the overlap between
the spoken languages surrounding the Dutch and Flemish Deaf communities,
videos were presented in two conditions: first without and subsequently with
mouthings. As we hypothesized, both LSFB and NGT signers understood narratives
better than informative signing, showing for the first time that iconic structures
facilitate comprehension of foreign signing. Furthermore, the results at
least partially confirm our hypothesis that NGT signers benefit more from mouthings
than LSFB signers, uncovering a source of intelligibility that is unique to sign
languages.

The more you move, the more action you construct : a motion capture study on head and upper-torso movements in constructed action in Finnish Sign Language narratives
Jantunen, Tommi; De Weerdt, Danny; Burger, Birgitta; Puupponen, Anna (John Benjamins Publishing Company, 2021)This paper investigates, with the help of motion capture data processed on corpus principles, the characteristics of head and upper-torso movements in constructed action and regular narration (i.e., signing without constructed ... -
What Comes First : Combining Motion Capture and Eye Tracking Data to Study the Order of Articulators in Constructed Action in Sign Language Narratives
Jantunen, Tommi; Puupponen, Anna; Burger, Birgitta (European Language Resources Association, 2020)We use synchronized 120 fps motion capture and 50 fps eye tracking data from two native signers to investigate the temporal order in which the dominant hand, the head, the chest and the eyes start producing overt constructed ... -
