ImpactModerate impact

The messages suggest that the publication is seen as relevant within the community, potentially influencing future research or understanding of sign language communication.

Abstract in brief

  • The study explores how Italian Sign Language (LIS) uses iconicity and simultaneity to encode information efficiently, taking advantage of its visual nature to represent multiple details at once rather than in a strict sequence.
  • Results show that when more information needs to be communicated, signers use more simultaneous movements and multiple articulators, making their signs more dense and iconic, which helps in conveying complex events more effectively.
  • This research highlights the unique capacity of signed languages to encode complex and rich information simultaneously, distinguishing them from spoken languages that mainly linearize communication.]
