Abstract ‘Visible Meaning’ (Schlenker 2018b) claims (i) that sign language makes visible some aspects of the Logical Form of sentences that are covert in spoken language, and (ii) that, along some dimensions, sign languages are more expressive than spoken languages because iconic conditions can be found at their logical core. Following nine peer commentaries, we clarify both claims and discuss three main issues: what is the nature of the interaction between logic and iconicity in sign language and beyond? does iconicity in sign language play the same role as gestures in spoken language? and is sign language Role Shift best analyzed in terms of visible context shift, or by way of demonstrations referring to gestures?

手语语义学：问题与展望

摘要``可见含义''（Schlenker 2018b）声称（i）手语使口头语言所隐含的句子的逻辑形式的某些方面可见，并且（ii）在某些方面，手语比口头更具表现力语言，因为标志性条件可以在其逻辑核心中找到。在进行了九次同行评议后，我们将阐明两个主张并讨论三个主要问题：手语中及以后的逻辑和象似性之间相互作用的本质是什么？手语中的象似性是否与口头语言中的手势扮演相同的角色？是否通过可视上下文转换或通过手势演示来最好地分析手语角色转换？
