This dissertation presents the first systematic, empirical investigation of the morphological properties of mouthings in Hungarian Sign LAnguage (MJNY). MJNY, like other European sign languages, borrows mouth forms from the surrounding spoken language. In contrast to other sign languages, however, the language that is borrowed from, Hungarian, is a language with rich inflectional morphology. Based upon informal observations, native signers of MJNY make use of these spoken inflections in mouthings. This doctoral project examines which inflectional categories are exhibited in mouthings.
