    "title": "Linguistic Modality Affects the Creation of Structure and Iconicity in Signals",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Different linguistic modalities (speech or sign) offer different\nlevels at which signals can iconically represent the world.\nOne hypothesis argues that this iconicity has an effect on how\nlinguistic structure emerges. However, exactly how and why\nthese effects might come about is in need of empirical investigation.\nIn this contribution, we present a signal creation\nexperiment in which both the signalling space and the meaning\nspace are manipulated so that different levels and types of\niconicity are available between the signals and meanings. Signals\nare produced using an infrared sensor that detects the hand\nposition of participants to generate auditory feedback. We find\nevidence that iconicity may be maladaptive for the discrimination\nof created signals. Further, we implemented Hidden\nMarkov Models to characterise the structure within signals,\nwhich was also used to inform a metric for iconicity",
