Abstract:
Language comprehension depends on the ability to temporally process the periodic structure of the language signal. The research investigate temporal processing of Sign Language (LSE), isolating the specific contribution of signal modality through a comparison with spoken language and the contribution of linguistic status by comparing language with a non-linguistic temporally structured visual signal. The results show that the distortion differently affects the intelligibility of these signals. In LSE and the visual non-linguistic task greater temporal distortion led to a gradual and constant reduction in intelligibility with no clear threshold. The findings suggest that the temporal processing of language arises from the complex interaction between the properties of the sensory system and the special characteristics of the language signal.
