Abstract:

1. Why different, why the same? Explaining effects and non-effects of
modality upon linguistic structure in sign and speech, Richard P. Meier; 

Part I. Phonological Structure in Signed Languages: 
2. Modality differences in sign language phonology and morphophonemics,
Diane Brentari; 
3. Beads on a string? Representations of repetition in spoken and signed
languages, Rachel Channon; 
4. Psycholinguistic investigations of phonological structure in American
Sign Language, David P. Corina and Ursula C. Hildebrandt;

slips of the hands and their repairs in German Sign Language, Annette
Hohenberger, Daniela Happ and Helen Leuninger; 
6. The role of manually coded English in language development of deaf
children, Samuel J. Supalla and Cecile McKee; 

Part II. Gesture and Iconicity in Sign and Speech: 
7. A modality-free notion of gesture and how it can help us with the
morpheme vs. gesture question in sign language linguistics (or at least
give us some criteria to work with), Arika Okrent; 
8. Gesture as the substrate in the process of ASL grammaticization, Terry
Janzen and Barbara Shaffer; 
9. A cross-linguistic examination of the lexicons of four signed languages,
Anne-Marie Currie, Richard P. Meier and Keith Walters; 

Part III. Syntax in Sign: Few or No Effects of Modality: 
10. Where are all the modality effects? Diane Lillo-Martin; 
11. Applying morphosyntactic and phonological readjustment rules in natural
language negation Roland Pfau; 
12. Nominal expressions in Hong Kong Sign Language: Does modality make a
difference? Gladys Tang and Felix Sze; 

Part IV. Using Space and Describing Space: 
13. Pronominal reference in signed and spoken language: Are grammatical
categories modality-dependent?  Susan Lloyd McBurney; 
14. Is verb agreement the same cross-modally? Christian Rathmann and Gaurav
Mathur; 
15. The effects of modality on spatial language: How signers and speakers
talk about space Karen Emmorey; 
16. The effects of modality on BSL
development in an exceptional learner, Gary Morgan, Neil Smith, Ianthi
Tsimpli and Bencie Woll; 
17. Deictic points in the visual/gestural and tactile/gestural modalities,
David Quinto-Pozos.
