The myth of language universals: language diversity and its importance for cognitive science. (2009, background): “However, sonority-based restrictions have been documented in sign languages (Corina 1990; Sandler & Lillo-Martin 2006), and recent experimental work suggests that they are active in the brains of individual speakers even when the relevant structures are absent in their language.”
Iconicity as a General Property of Language: Evidence from Spoken and Signed Languages (2010, background): “ICONICITY IN SIGNED LANGUAGE Signed languages, produced and perceived in the visual-spatial modality, obey the same grammatical constraints and linguistic principles found in spoken languages (for reviews, see Emmorey, 2002; Sandler and Lillo-Martin, 2006).”
The Form of Children's Early Signs: Iconic or Motoric Determinants? (2008, background): “15For recent discussions of the notion of a sign syllable, see Brentari (1998) and Sandler and Lillo-Martin (2006).”
Pronouns and pointing in sign languages (2013, background): “Various theoretical frameworks were applied to sign languages, most of them within the generative tradition2 (see Sandler and Lillo-Martin, 2006 for an overview); this approach also resulted in borrowing a considerable amount of linguistic terminology from spoken language studies.”
Sign Language Recognition, Generation, and Translation: An Interdisciplinary Perspective (2019, background): “More recent analyses of sign languages offer more sophisticated and detailed phonological analyses [17, 114, 96, 20].”
Language as a multimodal phenomenon: implications for language learning, processing and evolution (2014, background): “Signed language necessarily occurs in contexts of face-to-face communication and involves the use of the hands as major articulators in addition to multiple other non-manual channels of expression (face, mouth, eyebrows and body) [12–15].”
Ensuring language acquisition for deaf children: What linguists can do (2014, background): “…as well as more recently in journals that do not focus on sign languages, such as Language; and see a variety of comprehensive books, such as Sandler & Lillo-Martin 2006, Brentari 2010, Pfau et al. 2012), on language acquisition (Newport & Meier 1985, Meier & Newport 1990, Petitto &…”
