语言知识是否会在语言模态之间自发迁移？例如，不懂手语的英语使用者是否会自发地将英语的语法限制投射到语言符号上？在此，我们通过考察重复（doubling）的限制来探讨这一问题。我们首先证明，重复（例如panana；一般形式为ABB）可进行两种相互矛盾的解析（同一性与重叠），这取决于分析层面（音系学与形态学）。接下来我们表明，不懂手语的使用者会自发地将这两种解析投射到美国手语中新颖的ABB符号上。此外，所选择的解析（针对符号）受到口语形态的限制。说希伯来语的人在重复表示“小称”时能够进行形态学解析投射，但说英语的人只有在重复表示“复数”时才会这样做，这与他们各自口语语言的不同形态特征相符。这些观察结果表明，口语和手语中的重复受到一组通用的语言原则的限制，这些原则是代数的、非模态的且抽象的。
Does knowledge of language transfer spontaneously across language modalities? For example, do English speakers, who have had no command of a sign language, spontaneously project grammatical constraints from English to linguistic signs? Here, we address this question by examining the constraints on doubling. We first demonstrate that doubling (e.g. panana; generally: ABB) is amenable to two conflicting parses (identity vs. reduplication), depending on the level of analysis (phonology vs. morphology). We next show that speakers with no command of a sign language spontaneously project these two parses to novel ABB signs in American Sign Language. Moreover, the chosen parse (for signs) is constrained by the morphology of spoken language. Hebrew speakers can project the morphological parse when doubling indicates diminution, but English speakers only do so when doubling indicates plurality, in line with the distinct morphological properties of their spoken languages. These observations suggest that doubling in speech and signs is constrained by a common set of linguistic principles that are algebraic, amodal and abstract.
