2016 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Linguistics
  • Artificial intelligence
  • Cognition

His scientific interests lie mostly in Sign language, British Sign Language, Linguistics, Temporal cortex and Manually coded language. Sociolinguistics of sign languages is the focus of his Sign language research. His British Sign Language study incorporates themes from Cognitive psychology, Communication, First language, Phonology and Gesture.

His research links Cognition with Linguistics. The various areas that Bencie Woll examines in his Temporal cortex study include Audiology and Auditory cortex. His Manually coded language research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Cognitive science and Spoken language.

His most cited work include:

  • The Linguistics of British Sign Language: An Introduction (285 citations)
  • Neural systems underlying British Sign Language and audio‐visual English processing in native users (232 citations)
  • Sign Language: The Study of Deaf People and their Language (192 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His main research concerns Sign language, Linguistics, British Sign Language, Cognitive psychology and Manually coded language. His Sign language research includes themes of Gesture, Communication and Spoken language. His study in the field of Sign, Iconicity, Modality and Natural language also crosses realms of Sign.

His British Sign Language study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Media studies, Cognition, Facial expression, Artificial intelligence and Fingerspelling. Cognitive psychology and Language acquisition are frequently intertwined in his study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Sign language (52.86%)
  • Linguistics (51.07%)
  • British Sign Language (38.57%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

  • Sign language (52.86%)
  • Linguistics (51.07%)
  • British Sign Language (38.57%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His primary scientific interests are in Sign language, Linguistics, British Sign Language, Cognition and Cognitive psychology. His work carried out in the field of Sign language brings together such families of science as Test, Audiology, Gesture and Spoken language. The study of Linguistics is intertwined with the study of Communication in a number of ways.

His British Sign Language research includes elements of Swedish Sign Language, Facial expression, Numeral system, Artificial intelligence and Working memory. Bencie Woll has included themes like Deep linguistic processing and Temporal cortex in his Cognition study. His study on Cognitive psychology also encompasses disciplines like

  • Reading and related Transcription, Parietal lobe, Lexical decision task and Visual perception,
  • Phonetics, which have a strong connection to Psycholinguistics and Supramarginal gyrus.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Dissociating cognitive and sensory neural plasticity in human superior temporal cortex (82 citations)
  • Differential coding of perception in the world's languages (63 citations)
  • How does visual language affect crossmodal plasticity and cochlear implant success (51 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Linguistics
  • Cognition
  • Artificial intelligence

His primary areas of investigation include Sign language, Linguistics, British Sign Language, Audiology and Cognitive psychology. His Sign language research incorporates themes from Test, Sociolinguistics, Variation, Confirmatory factor analysis and Transcription. His study in the field of Sign, Notation, Bimodal bilingualism and Sign is also linked to topics like Viola.

His work in British Sign Language addresses subjects such as Cognition, which are connected to disciplines such as Temporal cortex and Deep linguistic processing. His research in Audiology intersects with topics in Developmental psychology, Working memory and Crossmodal. His Cognitive psychology research integrates issues from Judgement, Vocabulary and Phonetics.
