Mouth actions in sign languages have been controversially discussed but the sociolinguistic factors determining their form and functions remain uncertain. This first empirical analysis of mouth actions in Irish Sign Language focuses on correlations with gender, age, and word class. It contributes to the linguistic description of ISL, research into non-manuals in sign languages, and is relevant for the cross-modal study of word classes.Sign languages and deaf communities ;3.Irish Sign LanguageMouthGestureIrish Sign Language.Non-Manual Features.Sign Language.Word Classes.Irish Sign Language.Mouth.Gesture.419/.415ES 175rvkMohr Susanne(Linguist),894939MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910309744803321Mouth actions in sign languages1999512UNINA
