O que as línguas de sinais revelam sobre a língua humana?

Authors

Abstract

The talk by Dr. Karen Emmorey presents robust evidence, from a psycholinguistic point of view, that sign languages ​​resemble spoken languages ​​in terms of brain regions activated both during their production and production. In addition, Dr. Karen Emmorey also presents evidence in the same direction in relation to processing time related to the frequency and concreteness of words. However, she highlights differences between sign languages ​​and spoken languages ​​by observing that in addition to activities in brain areas known to be related to language, precisely Broca and Wernicke, brain activities were also observed in different areas due to the different modalities involved. At the end of her presentation, Dr. Karen Emmorey explores the impact of the gestural-visual modality in two specific domains: the representation of spatial relationships and the production of handling verbs, formally very similar to pantomimes.
