Wienholz, Anne, Derya Nuhbalaoglu, Nivedita Mani, Annika Herrmann, Edgar Onea and Markus Steinbach 2023 Neurophysiological evidence for the first mention effect during pronominal reference resolution in German Sign Language Sign Language & Linguistics 26:1, pp. 117–138 | Squib

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

Paul, Katharina, Maik Thalmann, Markus Steinbach and Marco Coniglio 2022 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

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

Wienholz, Anne, Derya Nuhbalaoglu, Markus Steinbach, Annika Herrmann and Nivedita Mani 2021 Phonological priming in German Sign Language: An eye tracking study using the Visual World Paradigm Sign Language & Linguistics 24:1, pp. 4–35 | Article

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

Hübl, Annika, Emar Maier and Markus Steinbach 2019 To shift or not to shift: Indexical attraction in role shift in German Sign Language Sign Language & Linguistics 22:2, pp. 171–209 | Article

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

Hübl, Annika and Markus Steinbach 2018 Approaching narration across modalities: Topics, methods, perspectives Linguistic Foundations of Narration in Spoken and Sign Languages, Hübl, Annika and Markus Steinbach (eds.), pp. 1–14 | Chapter

Steinbach, Markus 2016 Mouthing and demonstrating in bimodal contexts Epistemological issue with keynote article “The development of bimodal bilingualism: Implications for linguistic theory” by Diane Lillo-Martin, Ronice Müller de Quadros and Deborah Chen Pichler, pp. 828–833 | Commentary

Pfau, Roland and Markus Steinbach 2015 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

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

Herrmann, Annika and Markus Steinbach 2013 Nonmanuals in sign languages Nonmanuals in Sign Language, Herrmann, Annika and Markus Steinbach (eds.), pp. 1–6 | Article

Pfau, Roland and Markus Steinbach 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

Herrmann, Annika and Markus Steinbach 2012 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

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

Herrmann, Annika and Markus Steinbach 2011 Nonmanuals in sign languages Nonmanuals in Sign Language, Herrmann, Annika and Markus Steinbach (eds.), pp. 3–8 | Article

Meibauer, Jörg and Markus Steinbach 2011 Introduction: Experimental research at the pragmatics/semantics interface Experimental Pragmatics/Semantics, Meibauer, Jörg and Markus Steinbach (eds.), pp. 1–18 | Article

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

Herrmann, Annika and Markus Steinbach 2008 Review of Sandler & Lillo-Martin (2006): Sign language and linguistic universals Sign Language & Linguistics 11:1, pp. 108–111 | Review

Steinbach, Markus 2007 Integrated parentheticals and assertional complements Parentheticals, Dehé, Nicole and Yordanka Kavalova (eds.), pp. 53–87 | Article

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

Steinbach, Markus 2004 Review of Schulmeister & Reinitzer (2002): Progress in Sign Language Research. In Honor of Siegmund Prillwitz (Fortschritte in der Gebärdensprachforschung. Festschrift für Siegmund Prillwitz) Sign Language & Linguistics 7:1, pp. 83–87 | Review

Pfau, Roland and Markus Steinbach 2003 Optimal reciprocals in German Sign Language Sign Language & Linguistics 6:1, pp. 3–42 | Article

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
