Cognitive development in deaf children: the interface of language and perception in neuropsychology (2002, background): “Because ASL is perceived by the eyes and expressed with the hands and arms (in addition to the face and torso), its grammatical structure (phonology, lexicon, morphology, syntax, and semantics) is highly spatial (Emmorey, 2001).”
With the Future Behind Them: Convergent Evidence From Aymara Language and Gesture in the Crosslinguistic Comparison of Spatial Construals of Time (2006, background): “Paul Dudis (personal communication, 2002) pointed out to us that in American Sign Language (ASL) spatial arrays, it is possible for the speaker to be located in the array or not (see also Emmorey, 2002, chap.”
Over-reliance on English hinders cognitive science. (2022, neutral): “revealing substantive connections between language and cognition [160].”
Pronouns and pointing in sign languages (2013, background): “For the most part here, we set aside these other uses of pointing to focus on personal pronominal uses(6), although we recognise that pointing signs are often ambiguous between these various functions (Emmorey, 2002; Fenlon et al., 2013; Johnston, 2013).”
Categorical perception in American Sign Language (2003, background): “The articulation of hand configuration is less dramatically altered during whispering (see illustrations in Emmorey, 2002).”
The Evolution of Language: A Comparative Review (2005, neutral): “…and phonological abilities, or the neural and genetic bases for these, since speech abilities supplanted manual/visual imitation rather than exapting them, while predicting strong overlap between gestural and spoken mechanisms for syntax and semantics (Klima and Bellugi 1979; Emmorey 2002).”
The myth of language universals: language diversity and its importance for cognitive science. (2009, neutral): “Despite this, the hemispherical lateralization and neurocognitive pathways are largely shared across speakers of even the most different languages, to judge from comparative studies of European spoken and signed languages (Emmorey 2002).”
Intellectual functioning of deaf adults and children: Answers and questions (2006, background): “, & Emmorey, K. (1997). Face processing by deaf ASL signers: Evidence for expertise”
The perceptual characteristics of voice-hallucinations in deaf people: insights into the nature of subvocal thought and sensory feedback loops. (2005, background): “There has been inadequate consideration of within-group differences and little attempt to control for variables crucial in deafness research, such as degree and age of onset of deafness, use of residual hearing, age of first language acquisition, differences in language exposure and fluency, parenta”
