Sign language research

Sign language research explores how visual gestures convey language for Deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals. It involves studying the structure, grammar, and usage of signs, as well as their neurological and cognitive processing in the brain. Researchers also analyze how sign languages vary across cultures and how technology can improve communication, such as through sign language recognition and translation systems. This work enhances linguistic understanding, supports language accessibility, and promotes inclusive communication practices. Ultimately, it aims to document, preserve, and optimize the use of sign languages worldwide.
