Prosodic realization of focus has been a widely investigated topic across languages and modalities. Simultaneous focus strategies are intriguing to see how they interact regarding their functional and temporal alignment. We explored the multichannel (manual and nonmanual) realization of focus in Turkish Sign Language. We elicited data with focus type, syntactic roles and movement type variables from 20 signers. The results revealed the focus is encoded via increased duration in manual signs, and nonmanuals do not necessarily accompany focused signs. With a multichanneled structure, sign languages use two available channels or opt for one to express focushood.

土耳其手语中的焦点韵律

焦点的韵律实现一直是跨语言和模式广泛研究的主题。同步聚焦策略很有趣，看看它们如何在功能和时间对齐方面相互作用。我们探索了土耳其手语中焦点的多渠道（手动和非手动）实现。我们从 20 名手语者那里获取了焦点类型、句法角色和动作类型变量的数据。结果显示，焦点是通过手动手势中增加的持续时间来编码的，非手动手势不一定伴随着聚焦手势。手语采用多通道结构，使用两个可用通道或选择一个通道来表达专注力。
