Similar brain glitch found in slips of signing, speaking
The discovery of a common neural mechanism in speech and ASL errors — one that occurs in just 40 milliseconds — could improve recovery in deaf signers after a stroke

LLCN Speaker Series welcome Tory Sampson, Thurs. Sept. 5th at noon
Tory Sampson is a second-year graduate student in the Linguistics doctoral program at UCSD. The talk is: ‘An Emerging SELF: The Copular Cycle in ASL’. Currently, she is working on describing the copular cycle in ASL, a grammaticalization phenomenon seen cross-linguistically in which a pronoun evolves into a copula. Refreshments will be served right after…

Dr. Emmorey Featured in Newsweek: What Happens When You Flip Between Languages
“Understanding how different languages coexist and interact in the human brain is important because it lays the groundwork for investigating the social benefits of being bilingual. San Diego State University’s Karen Emmorey, who studied bilingual individuals fluent in English and ASL, collaborated on the research.” See the full article on Newsweek >>

When we sign, we build phrases with similar neural mechanisms as when we speak
“Differences between signed and spoken languages are significant, yet the underlying neural processes we use to create complex expressions are quite similar for both, a team of researchers has found. “This research shows for the first time that despite obvious physical differences in how signed and spoken languages are produced and comprehended, the neural timing…
