Neurophysiological evidence for the first mention effect during pronominal reference resolution in German Sign Language Sign Language & Linguistics 26:1, pp. 117–138 | Squib
2023 Anaphoric pronoun resolution in spoken language has been shown to be influenced by the first mention bias. While this bias has been well investigated in spoken languages, less is known about a similar bias in sign languages. In sign languages, pronominal pointing signs (index) are directed… read more
Gehen as a new auxiliary in German Language Change at the Interfaces: Intrasentential and intersentential phenomena, Catasso, Nicholas, Marco Coniglio and Chiara De Bastiani (eds.), pp. 165–188 | Chapter
2022 This paper aims to investigate the so-called gehen+infinitive construction in German, in which an inflected form of the (movement) verb gehen ‘go’ is combined with the infinitive of another main verb and, thus, seems to behave like an auxiliary syntactically. Supported by two questionnaire… read more
Phonological priming in German Sign Language: An eye tracking study using the Visual World Paradigm Sign Language & Linguistics 24:1, pp. 4–35 | Article
2021 A number of studies provide evidence for a phonological priming effect in the recognition of single signs based on phonological parameters and that the specific phonological parameters modulated in the priming effect can influence the robustness of this effect. This eye tracking study on German… read more
To shift or not to shift: Indexical attraction in role shift in German Sign Language Sign Language & Linguistics 22:2, pp. 171–209 | Article
2019 There are two main competing views about the nature of sign language role shift within formal semantics today: Quer (2005) and Schlenker (2017a,b), following now standard analyses of indexical shift in spoken languages, analyze it as a so-called ‘monstrous operator’, while Davidson (2015) and… read more

PERSON climbing up a tree: (and other adventures in sign language grammaticalization) Signs and Structures: Formal Approaches to Sign Language Syntax, Rutkowski, Paweł (ed.), pp. 71–101 | Article
2015 Studies on sign language grammaticalization have demonstrated that most of the attested diachronic changes from lexical to functional elements parallel those previously described for spoken languages. To date, most of these studies are either descriptive in nature or embedded within… read more
Nonmanuals in sign languages Nonmanuals in Sign Language, Herrmann, Annika and Markus Steinbach (eds.), pp. 1–6 | Article
2013 person climbing up a tree: (and other adventures in sign language grammaticalization) Sign Language Syntax from a Formal Perspective: Selected Papers from the 2012 Warsaw FEAST, Rutkowski, Paweł (ed.), pp. 189–220 | Article
2013 Studies on sign language grammaticalization have demonstrated that most of the attested diachronic changes from lexical to functional elements parallel those previously described for spoken languages. To date, most of these studies are either descriptive in nature or embedded within… read more
Quotation in sign languages: A visible context shift Quotatives: Cross-linguistic and cross-disciplinary perspectives, Buchstaller, Isabelle and Ingrid van Alphen (eds.), pp. 203–228 | Article
2012 Assuming that quoting utterances and thoughts is a universal property of natural languages, sign languages are also expected to have various linguistic means to mark quotation. Like spoken languages, sign languages have regular forms of indirect reported speech. However, sign languages mostly draw… read more
Nonmanuals in sign languages Nonmanuals in Sign Language, Herrmann, Annika and Markus Steinbach (eds.), pp. 3–8 | Article
2011 Introduction: Experimental research at the pragmatics/semantics interface Experimental Pragmatics/Semantics, Meibauer, Jörg and Markus Steinbach (eds.), pp. 1–18 | Article
2011 Focusing on the semantics/pragmatics divide, the contribution of experimental pragmatics to pragmatic theory is discussed from a number of angles, ranging from implicature theory and theories of pragmatic enrichment to pragmatic acquisition, pragmatic impairment, and pragmatic processing. In… read more
2008
Integrated parentheticals and assertional complements Parentheticals, Dehé, Nicole and Yordanka Kavalova (eds.), pp. 53–87 | Article
2007 German has three different kinds of verb-first integrated parentheticals (VIPs), which differ from other kinds of parentheticals in several respects: (i) VIPs have verb-first order; (ii) they form one focus-background-structure with their host; (iii) the proposition expressed by the host is linked… read more

Optimal reciprocals in German Sign Language Sign Language & Linguistics 6:1, pp. 3–42 | Article
2003 Unlike most spoken languages, German Sign Language (DGS) does not have a single means of reciprocal marking. Rather, different strategies are used, which crucially depend on phonological (one-handed sign vs. two-handed sign) and morphosyntactic (plain verb vs. agreement verb) properties of the… read more
