A Phonological Analysis of a Deaf Parkinsonian Signer.

Brentari, Diane; Poizner, Howard

Language and Cognitive Processes, v9 n1 p69-99 Feb 1994

Reductions and timing errors were 2 major signing disruptions observed in a 64-year-old deaf signer with Parkinson's disease; these errors are phonetic rather than phonological in nature. Error analysis yields information about sign prosody and American Sign Language phonological representation. (Contains 54 references.) (JP)
