Potential of the Centre for Deaf Studies (CDS): its role in enhancing social justice for the Deaf community: a personal observation
(2005)The establishment of the Centre for Deaf Studies at the University of Dublin, Trinity College, is justifiably regarded as a milestone in the history of the Deaf community. The paper briefly examines the general perception ... -
Who decides? Language education policies for Deaf children - Selected findings from a comparative analysis of Finnish and Irish policies on signed languages.
(2015)This chapter offers a comparative analysis of language education policies (LEP) for Deaf children in Finland and Ireland. In order to discuss the topic we touch on six main components. These six components are selected on ... -
Hands in Motion: Learning to Fingerspell in Irish Sign Language (ISL)
(2020)Irish Sign Language uses a one-handed alphabet in which each fingerspelled letter has a unique combination of handshape, orientation, and, in a few cases, path movement. Each letter is used to represent ... -
Online and Kicking: Sign Language Activism via Social Media
(2019)Online activism in the Irish Deaf community demonstrates leveraging of multimodal linguistic repertories (as per Kusters et al 2017) ; it started as community-led work towards ISL recognition. Some fora are more ISL-led, ... -
A cross-linguistic comparison of reference across different signed languages
(2020)Do deaf signers of different signed languages do reference the same way? Here we compare how signers of five signed languages coordinate fully conventionalised forms (such as lexical manual signs, fingerspelling ... -

Perceptual salience of voice source parameters in signaling focal prominence
(2016)paper describes listening tests investigating the perceptual role of voice source parameters (other than F0) in signaling focal prominence. Synthesized stimuli were constructed on the basis of an inverse filtered utterance ... -
The ABAIR Initiative: Bringing Spoken Irish into the Digital Space
(2017)The processes of language demise take hold when a language ceases to belong to the mainstream of life’s activities. Digital communication technology increasingly pervades all aspects of modern life. Languages not digitally ... -
Cross-speaker variation in voice source correlates of focus and deaccentuation
(2017)This paper describes cross-speaker variation in the voice source correlates of focal accentuation and deaccentuation. A set of utterances with varied narrow focus placement as well as broad focus and deaccented renditions ... -
Voice-to-affect mapping: Inferences on language voice baseline settings
(2017)Modulations of the voice convey affect, and the precise mapping of voice-to-affect may vary for different languages. However, affect-related modulations occur relative to the baseline affect-neutral voice, which tends to ... -
Rd as a control parameter to explore affective correlates of the tense-lax continuum
(2017)This study uses the Rd glottal waveshape parameter to simulate the phonatory tense-lax continuum and to explore its affective correlates in terms of activation and valence. Based on a natural utterance which was inverse ... -
The interaction of long-term voice quality with the realisation of focus
(2016)Voice quality shifts have been shown to be associated with the realisation of accent, focus and deaccentuation. Mostly, accented and focally accented syllables are reported to exhibit a tenser mode of phonation than the ... -
GlóRí - the Glottal Research Instrument
(2014)This papers presents GlóRí - the glottal research instrument. GlóRí is a speech analysis interface which offers a flexibility and multiplicity of approaches to voice analysis. The system allows for fully automatic ... -
Reshaping the transformed LF model: generating the glottal source from the waveshape parameter Rd
(2017)Precise specification of the voice source would facilitate better modelling of expressive nuances in human spoken interaction. This paper focuses on the transformed version of the widely used LF voice source model, and ... -

On Triple Complementation in Southern Lazio dialects
(2017)Southern Italian dialects (SIDs) are traditionally claimed to use a dual finite complementiser system. In these varieties it is possible to distinguish between a complementiser derived from QUIA (>ca), which introduces ...
