Íslenskt táknmál (Icelandic Sign Language)

A Lexical Comparison of Icelandic Sign Language and Danish Sign Language. The signs for 292 lexical items were analysed by comparing the parameters of hand configuration (together with orientation of the hand/palm), location and movement and classified as Identical, Similar or Different. Results revealed a high percentage of similarity. A much higher degree of lexical similarity was found in the realisation of country names than any other semantic category. The study contributes to work in the field of Nordic Sign Languages and has methodological implications for the study of sign language vocabulary internationally.
