手语产生是聋人借助于手形的变化并辅以相应的表情、姿势来传达思想的过程。手语产生的核心过程是词汇通达,包含词条选择(语义提取)和音位编码(语音提取)两个阶段。手语的获得年龄、手语的象似性、手语词的语音相似性、手形位置和手语加工的脑偏侧化影响手语的产生。
Sign language production is a process in which the deaf communicate ideas by means of handshape change, as well as corresponding facial expressions and gestures. The core process of sign language production is lexical access, which consists of lexical selection (semantic retrieval) and phonetic encoding (phonological retrieval). The factors that have an effect on sign language production include the age of acquisition, iconicity, phonological similarity, the location of the handshape, and brain lateralization.
