#TheASLSignbank
One-pager describing the ASL Signbank. Top teal banner with 3 people signing "ASL-SIGNBANK FOR-FOR DOCUMENTATION" with text below (same as text in skeet). Below background image of lots of signers for the ASL Signbank dimmed. Foregrounded are different boxes - author information (Julie A. Hochgesang, Onno Crasborn and Diane Lillo-Martin, 2017-2025), The ASL Signbank logo with name sign in outlined hands, teal box with white text "The ASL Signbank is a cloud-based lexical database, which has been designed/organized using the Global signbank infrastructure", screenshot of home page of website for ASL Signbank, Screenshot of "all signs" view with "related signs" circled - text overlaid "There are currently 4400+ entries in ASl Signbank and growing. Categories of entry information follow prior signbanks and our proejct annotation conventions." Screenshot of ELAN showing a Black woman signing in ASL and text below with a smaller video linked - next to this is a teal box with white text "Although it can be used for reference and analysis of ASL signs, the primary purpose of the ASL Signbank is to serve as an annotation tool for ASL videos using ELAN, an annotation software (see left). Annotation makes videos machine-readable (searchable, countable, etc). The bottom of the screen has logo for project "SLAASh" along with the hand showing a slash mark. There's acknowledgments for participants and families as well as research assistants and grant information. It also links to the website via text and QR code. It also shows an Instagram logo and @ASLSignbank

New paper with @ryanlepic.bsky.social: doi.org/10.1515/ling....

Our previous research showed that ✨️inherently plural meanings✨️ favor two-handed signs across sign languages, now we see that hearing non-signers also produce more two-handed forms when asked to gesture plural meanings! 👐🏼

Non-signers favor two-handed gestures when expressing inherently plural meanings
Sign languages have been shown to favor two-handed forms to express plural meanings, and in this paper we investigate whether this pattern is similarly found in silent gestures improvised by hearing n...

Today’s No Kings protests could be the biggest in US history.

I’ll be speaking in front of tens of thousands here in Washington DC onstage alongside Senators Bernie Sanders and Chris Murphy, and Bill Nye and others.

Watch the livestream from 12pm ET:

Don’t forget to attend your local #NoKings protest, treat it like you would a hike, come prepared and plan ahead. Wear comfortable shoes because you’ll be walking or standing for long periods. Check the weather before you go and dress accordingly, bringing layers, rain gear, or sunscreen as needed.

And #LingBing continues w Erin Wilkinson whose work I've admired for years. Erin graduated from Gallaudet Linguistics with a MA then went on to get her PhD from U of New Mexico where she is currently a professor. She joined our class to present her #HDLS16 keynote peppered with #LingBing memories
Screenshot of Zoom window with Erin looking at the camera and smiling. Her slides are in a window in the top right with title of her presentation "Language ecology: A missing piece of the "SL grammar" puzzle Erin Wilkinson October 15, 2025". Erin is a white woman with blue glasses, brown hair going to her chin, green sweater with a scoop. She's seated in her office with art in frames behind her. On the top in the center is a very small image of Julie sitting in her office. Screenshot of Zoom windows - Erin on top and Julie on bottom. Erin is signing "intersubjectivity". Julie is a white woman with long brown hair with a brown keffiyeh scarf and light tan sweater. She's seated in front of a lot of art behind her in her office. Screenshot of several zoom windows with different people smiling at the camera. Erin and Julie are in the top windows. Krystin and Sasho then Grace and Kolby in the center windows. Masashi in the bottom window. Screenshot of Zoom windows with Erin signing "that' while pointing at the slides (although she doesn't know it!). Her slides are in a window in the top right with title of her presentation "Language ecology: A missing piece of the "SL grammar" puzzle Erin Wilkinson October 15, 2025".

My Field Methods class this year is documenting the experiences of the Gallaudet Linguistics department. Got to talk with Bob Johnson today - 1st professor & chair of the department. He was also my dissertation advisor. He started in '81 and retired in '12. So many good stories #LingBing

I’ve been waiting for Democrats to just crash TF out and say “ok bet, if there are no rules anymore, our platform is student loan forgiveness, erasure of credit card interest debt, eliminating interest rates over 5%, stopping spam calls to your cellphones, etc.” where is project 2028?

The really exasperating thing is all this ends if even a slight majority of white folks can accept that a multiracial democracy is the only viable route.
