Sign and speech share partially overlapping conceptual representations
Abstract: Conceptual knowledge is fundamental to human cognition. Yet the extent to which it is influenced by language is unclear. Studies of semantic processing show that similar neural patterns are evoked by the same concepts presented in different modalities (e.g. spoken words and pictures or text) [1–3]. This suggests that conceptual representations are ‘modality independent’. However, an alternative possibility is that the similarity reflects retrieval of common spoken language representations. Indeed, in hearing spoken language users, text and spoken language are co-dependent [4,5] and pictures are encoded via visual and verbal routes [6]. A parallel approach investigating semantic cognition, shows that bilinguals activate similar patterns for the same words in their different languages [7,8]. This suggests that conceptual representations are ‘language independent’. However, this has only been tested in spoken language bilinguals. If different languages evoke different conceptual representations, this should be most apparent comparing languages that differ greatly in structure. Hearing people with signing deaf parents are bilingual in sign and speech: languages conveyed in different modalities. Here we test the influence of modality and bilingualism on conceptual representation by comparing semantic representations elicited by spoken British English and British Sign Language in hearing early, sign-speech bilinguals. We show that representations of semantic categories are shared for sign and speech, but not for individual spoken words and signs. This provides evidence for partially shared representations for sign and speech, and shows that language acts as a subtle filter through which we understand and interact with the world.
