Read the full research overview
Lillo-Martin studies the structure and acquisition of American Sign Language, alongside language development across languages. Her research includes ASL acquisition by Deaf children and the development of both ASL and spoken English in hearing children from Deaf parented families. Comparing signed and spoken language helps examine universal and modality specific properties, connecting linguistic structure with questions about how the human mind acquires language.
