This dissertation investigated the grammatical use of eye gaze in American Sign Language (ASL) in three experiments, all of which make use of head-mounted eye-tracking technology. Experiment 1 investigates the use of eye gaze to mark verb agreement by native signers of ASL. The results support the use of eye gaze as a verb agreement marker. However, the findings differ from previous claims that eye gaze marks object agreement across all three ASL verb types (agreeing, spatial and plain).
