This paper presents phonetic analysis of hand configurations elicited from hearing adults exposed for the first time to signs in American Sign Language. The accuracy of their production is analyzed in terms of various handshape sub-features, including degree of finger splay and opposition of the thumb.

Although these conclusions are preliminary, based only on a limited data sample, they indicate promising directions for further study of hearing adults learning a sign language as a second language. Research attention in this area stands to greatly deaf children and their...
