The semiotic diversity of doing reference in a deaf signed language
TL;DR: In this article deaf signers of Auslan (a deaf signed language of Australia) coordinate fully conventionalised forms with more richly improvised semiotics (such as indicating verbs, pointing signs, depicting signs, visible surrogates and/or invisible surrogates) to identify and talk about referents of varying agency.

The role of iconicity, construal, and proficiency in the online processing of handshape
TL;DR: This article found a significant three-way interaction between iconicity, proficiency, and construal density such that less-proficient signers detected handshapes in more iconic signs faster than less iconic signs regardless of the handshape they were monitoring, but highly proficient signers' performance was only improved by iconicity for handsh shapes that participated in many construals.
