Summary and Conclusion <br />
• The Synthesis model predicts the observed phenomena: <br />
• Sign language structures <strong>in</strong> spoken language (<strong>WH</strong>-‐<strong>in</strong>-‐situ/f<strong>in</strong>al, <br />
double) <br />
• Spoken language structures <strong>in</strong> sign language (over-‐use of <strong>WH</strong>-<strong>in</strong>i-al)<br />
<br />
• Selec-on of Roots and Morphemes from L x and L y can <br />
lead to syntac-c ‘transfer’; while selec-on of Vocabulary <br />
Items from L x and L y can lead to ‘switch<strong>in</strong>g’. <br />
• <strong>Language</strong> synthesis emerges from the structure of the <br />
language faculty when more than one lexicon is <br />
available. <br />
