→ 1200 minutes of fully transcribed speech, ~ 65000 words

Out now in @pnas.org! 🌹Is a rose by any other name still as roselike?🌹
We study the prevalence of iconicity (does a word look/sound like what it means?) and systematicity (are pronunciation/meaning relationships shared across multiple words?) in large datasets of ASL, English, and Spanish.
