The study describes certain structural modifications employed on the citation forms of ISL during signing for intensification purposes. In Signed Languages, citation forms are considered relatively immune to modifications. Nine signers signed several scenarios describing some intense quality. The signers used conventional adverbs existing in ISL for intensification purposes. Yet, they also employed idiosyncratic modifications on the formational components of adjectives simultaneously to form realization. These optional modifications enriched the messages conveyed merely by the conventional forms. They show that signers can incorporate gradient modes of expressions directly into the production of the lexical items to communicate more diverse and explicit messages in context. Using a comparative semiotic approach allowed us to describe the synergetic cooperation manifested at the stage of utterance construction between formational elements which were more suited to convey gradient and analog meanings in context and those that were less suited and thus not modified.

以色列手语 (ISL) 话语中的强化行动

该研究描述了在签名期间对 ISL 引文形式采用的某些结构修改，以达到强化目的。在手语中，引用形式被认为相对不受修改的影响。九个签名者签署了几个描述一些强烈品质的场景。签名者使用 ISL 中存在的常规副词来强化目的。然而，他们还同时对形容词的构成成分进行了特殊修饰以形成实现。这些可选的修改丰富了仅由传统形式传达的信息。他们表明，手语者可以将表达的梯度模式直接纳入词汇项目的产生中，以在上下文中传达更多样化和更明确的信息。
