2020 Person vs. locative agreement: Evidence from late learners and language emergence Special Issue in Memory of Irit Meir, Lillo-Martin, Diane, Wendy Sandler, Marie Coppola and Rose Stamp (eds.), pp. 17–37 | Article

2020 Chapter 6. Age of acquisition effects in language development Understanding Deafness, Language and Cognitive Development: Essays in honour of Bencie Woll, Morgan, Gary (ed.), pp. 93–113 | Chapter
The most accessible language for deaf children is generally a sign language, but few children have input in sign languages early in life. Late first-language acquisition of a sign language reveals age of acquisition effects that must be taken into consideration by linguistic theories of acquisition. read more
2020 Code-blending with depicting signs Linguistic Approaches to Bilingualism 10:2, pp. 290–308 | Article
Bimodal bilinguals sometimes use code-blending, simultaneous production of (parts of) an utterance in both speech and sign.
