Cognitive pragmatics: Insights from homesign conversations
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 46:e8 (2023)
Abstract
Homesign is a visual–gestural form of communication that emerges between deaf individuals and their hearing interlocutors in the absence of a conventional sign language. I argue here that homesign conversations form a perfect testcase to study the extent to which pragmatic competence is foundational rather than derived from our linguistic abilities.Other Versions
