- Mouthings in Swedish Sign Language : An exploratory study 2021-10-01 This paper by Johanna Mesch, Krister Schönström and Sebastian Embacher deals with the non-manual mouth actions of Swedish Sign Language (STS). Based on data from two large corporas, the study compare the use of mouthings in deaf L1 as well as hearing L2 signers. Mouthings is a category of mouth actions that is based on a mouth movement with visual elements borrowed from the prototypical mouth articulation of words from spoken language. Mouth gestures on the other hand are sign languages’ own language-specic mouth movements. This study shows that L1 signers have a preference for reduced mouthing in comparison to L2 signers.

A paper by Maria Koptjevskaja Tamm and Dmitry Nikolaev reports on a first systematic cross-lingual study of the exponents of conceptual metaphor AFFECTION IS WARMTH (Lakoff & Johnson, 1980; Grady, 1997).
- Patient or Citizen? Participation and Accessibility for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing People (...) 2021-09-20 Drawing upon ethnographic data from two projects, this paper by Ingela Holmström and Sangeeta Bagga-Gupta focuses on interpretation issues in deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH) individuals’ everyday lives.
- Phonological Variations Are Compensated at the Lexical Level: Evidence From Auditory Neural Activity 2021-08-27 This paper by Hatice Zora et al. investigates the consequences of plausible and implausible variations on lexical access. The main result is consistent with the larger notion that the long-term memory representations for words enable rapid lexical access even in the case of partial auditory information.

- Prototype Semantics and Cross‐Linguistic Comparison 2021-03-19 In our article we attempt to relate the achievements and discussion within cross-linguistic research on semantics to the general discussion of categorisation and prototypes. We conclude that categories, as they emerge in the course of cross-linguistic research, have fuzzy boundaries and seem to be organized in terms of prototypes.
- Use and acquisition of mouth actions in L2 sign language learners : A corpus-based approach (2021) 2021-01-04 This article deals with L2 acquisition of a sign language, examining in particular the use and acquisition of non-manual mouth actions performed by L2 learners of Swedish Sign Language.
- N1 repetition-attenuation for acoustically variable speech and spectrally rotated speech 2020-12-21 Studien har undersökt hur hjärnan reagerar vid olika slags upprepningar av ljud.
