为了进一步了解人类交流的神经基础，研究人员转向了对聋人社区中使用的自然发生的手语的研究。口语和手语之间的共性和差异的比较提供了一个机会，以确定核心神经系统负责独立的语言表达的模态语言交流。本文探讨了这些研究，并询问我们可以通过对比正式的视觉手势语言系统（符号语言）与更一般的人类动作感知来了解人类语言。为了理解视觉语言感知，重要的是要区分一般人类运动处理的需求和与从任意的常规手势中提取语言意义相关的高度任务依赖性需求。这一奋进特别重要，因为理论家们已经提出了人类语言和社会交流的感知和行为与功能之间的密切同源性。我们回顾了最近的行为，功能成像和神经心理学研究，探讨人类行为和手语之间的处理解离。这些数据表明，镜像神经元系统之间的不完全重叠被提出来调解人类的行动和语言。
In the quest to further understand the neural underpinning of human communication, researchers have turned to studies of naturally occurring signed languages used in Deaf communities. The comparison of the commonalities and differences between spoken and signed languages provides an opportunity to determine core neural systems responsible for linguistic communication independent of the modality in which a language is expressed. The present article examines such studies, and in addition asks what we can learn about human languages by contrasting formal visual‐gestural linguistic systems (signed languages) with more general human action perception. To understand visual language perception, it is important to distinguish the demands of general human motion processing from the highly task‐dependent demands associated with extracting linguistic meaning from arbitrary, conventionalized gestures. This endeavor is particularly important because theorists have suggested close homologies between perception and production of actions and functions of human language and social communication. We review recent behavioral, functional imaging, and neuropsychological studies that explore dissociations between the processing of human actions and signed languages. These data suggest incomplete overlap between the mirror‐neuron systems proposed to mediate human action and language.
