双模态双语者，流利的手语和口语，提供了独特的洞察句法整合和语言控制的性质。我们调查是否双峰双语者与英语单语者交谈产生美国手语（ASL）的语法面部表情，伴随着英语口语中的平行句法结构。在美国手语中，扬起的眉毛标记条件句，皱起的眉毛标记疑问句;语法上的眉毛运动与小句的手动开始同步。双峰双语者产生更多的美国手语适当的面部表情比nonsigners和同步他们的表情与相应的英语从句的发病。这一结果提供了证据的双语架构中，语法信息可以整合到语音实现的水平。总的来说，参与者产生了更多的眉毛比皱眉，这可以传达负面影响。双峰双语抑制，但并没有完全抑制美国手语面部语法时，它与传统的面部表情冲突。我们的结论是，两种语言的形态句法元素可以同时表达，完全抑制非选定的语言是困难的。
Bimodal bilinguals, fluent in a signed and a spoken language, provide unique insight into the nature of syntactic integration and language control. We investigated whether bimodal bilinguals who are conversing with English monolinguals produce American Sign Language (ASL) grammatical facial expressions to accompany parallel syntactic structures in spoken English. In ASL, raised eyebrows mark conditionals, and furrowed eyebrows mark wh-questions; the grammatical brow movement is synchronized with the manual onset of the clause. Bimodal bilinguals produced more ASL-appropriate facial expressions than did nonsigners and synchronized their expressions with the onset of the corresponding English clauses. This result provides evidence for a dual-language architecture in which grammatical information can be integrated up to the level of phonological implementation. Overall, participants produced more raised brows than furrowed brows, which can convey negative affect. Bimodal bilinguals suppressed but did not completely inhibit ASL facial grammar when it conflicted with conventional facial gestures. We conclude that morphosyntactic elements from two languages can be articulated simultaneously and that complete inhibition of the nonselected language is difficult.
