“…We still lack descriptions of the mouthings in a great number of sign languages, including in RSL. Only a few Deaf 1 community sign languages, such as especially the British (BSL), Australian (Auslan), Swedish (STS), German (DGS), and Dutch (NGT) ones, alongside a small number of other, mostly European sign languages, have been analyzed with respect to their mouthings ( Ebbinghaus and Heßmann, 1995 ; Sutton-Spence and Day, 2001 ; Bank et al, 2011 ; Mohr, 2014 ; Johnston et al, 2016 ; Mesch and Schönström, 2021 ). Although, so far, most sign language research has focused on ASL, it is interesting to note that the vast bulk of the research carried out on mouthing has been for European sign languages, while ASL researchers have largely ignored mouthing for many years (an exception is Nadolske and Rosenstock, 2008 ).…”
