Director of the SIGN LANGUAGE group

LINGUAE

The main goal of my research is addressing the significance of sign languages in discovering the properties of the human ability for language. I am particularly interested in how sign languages manage complexity in the processing of the linguistic message both at the phono-morphological level and at the syntactic level.

My research develops along different paths trying to find empirical answers to the following questions :

• Linguistic theory : what do the grammars of sign languages have to say about the Faculty of language ?
• Sociolinguistics : How are sign languages in use ?
• Cognition : what is the impact of sign language use on (language-related) cognitive abilities ?
• Artificial intelligence : Can we develop tools to increase accessibility for Deaf people ?
