LIGN 148 Lecture Notes - Lecture 12: Sign Language, Short-Term Memory, Word Processor
Document Summary
Lecture 12 lexical processing in sign language. If phonological features of signs or spoken words are close together it"s much harder to remember them from a list. Insights from slips of the tongue: underlying sound structure of words, when we"re speaking, we"re manipulating 2 levels of language simultaneously, 1) meaning of words, 2) form/sound level of words. Tip of the tongue/finger: necessary, a failure to recall word you know, feeling of imminent recall, reject close alternatives, common, have partial information about the target, e. g. Include partial access to phonology: more likely to retrieve hs, pa, or, than mv, first letter of finger-spelled word, supports two-stage model of sign retrieval. Sentence memory errors: asked deaf signers to copy a story while they were watching it (shadowing, signer signed sleep instead of and, share articulatory features. 4: shows that they were copying at a very shallow level, just the phonological features and not so much meaning.
