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

“…The existence of a phonological system – a system of meaningless building blocks that make up meaningful words – is often considered a prerequisite for language, and the discovery that sign languages used by deaf people have a meaningless level of structure convinced linguists that they are real languages. …”
