title = "“Mouth Actions as Gestures in Sign Language” pp 104-123",
abstract = "The present study investigates the nature of mouth actions in Italian Sign Language (LIS) and shows how the manual and the oral modality can be integrated when the visual-gestural channel is chosen for communication. Finally, the role played by mouth actions in sign language will be investigated and paralleled to co-speech gestures by re-working Kendon{\textquoteright}s continuum in order to show how orality could become gestural when co-occurring with signing.",
