Abstract

This talk presents key findings from my PhD, which challenges long-standing assumptions about International Sign (IS) as used by interpreters. Earlier claims about IS – such as extended processing time or a limited and unstable lexicon – were often based on unrelated or incomparable datasets. My research takes a different approach. Using a strict, controlled comparison between IS interpreters and Dutch Sign Language (NGT) interpreters working from the exact same source texts, it provides the first systematic evidence that makes the linguistic features of IS clearly visible.
