Phonological category resolution: a study of handshapes in younger and older sign languages by Assaf Israel, Wendy Sandler

“…Our methodology measures the degree of cross-signer consensus with respect to each meaningless phonetic feature of handshape as well as the number of variants (indicating the range of variation), and reveals a consistent pattern across the three languages: The largest amount of variation is found in ABSL; ISL is next; and ASL shows the least amount of cross-signer variation in production of the handshape category. …”
