QUADROS, Ronice Muller de. Efeitos de modalidade de língua: As línguas de sinais. ETD [online]. 2006, vol.07, n.02, pp.168-178. ISSN 1676-2592.

Sign languages that are visuo-spatial languages offer an area of analyses that refer to possible effects in which the difference in the modality can have implication to the linguistic theories and to the discourse analyses. In this paper, we will discuss the modality effects in the theoretical perspective presenting a revision of the classical studies of sign languages, as well as the studies that look for understanding the specificity of the languages.

Palabras clave : Sign Languages; Modality Effects; Visual-Spatial Modality.
