Language Planning in Action: Depiction as a Driver of New Terminology in Irish Sign Language
In this paper, we examine the linguistic phenomenon known as ‘depiction’, which relates to the ability to visually represent semantic components (Dudis, 2004). While some elements of this have been described for Irish Sign Language, with particular attention to the ‘productive lexicon’ (Leeson & Grehan, 2004; Leeson & Saeed, 2012; Matthews, 1996; O’Baoill & Matthews, 2000), here, we take the analysis further, drawing on what we have learned from cognitive linguistics over the past decade. Drawing on several recently developed domain-specific glossaries (e.g., STEM1, Covid-192, political domain, Sexual, Domestic and Gender Based Violence (SDGBV)-related vocabulary) we present ongoing analysis indicating that a deliberate focus on iconicity, in particular, elements of depiction, appears to be a primary driver. We also consider the potential implications of the insights we intend to gain from Deaf-led glossary glossary development work in the context of Machine Translation goals, for example, for work in progress on the Horizon 2020 funded SignON project.

Game-Theoretic Modeling of Vehicle Unprotected Left Turns Considering Drivers' Bounded Rationality
Modeling the decision-making behavior of vehicles presents unique challenges, particularly during unprotected left turns at intersections, where the uncertainty of human drivers is especially pronounced. In this context,…
Autonomous DrivingCogDriver: Integrating Cognitive Inertia for Temporally Coherent Planning in Autonomous Driving
The pursuit of autonomous agents capable of temporally coherent planning is hindered by a fundamental flaw in current vision-language models (VLMs): they lack cognitive inertia. Operating on isolated snapshots, these mod…

Merge scenarios on highway are often challenging for autonomous driving, due to its lack of sufficient tacit understanding on and subtle interaction with human drivers in the traffic flow. This, as a result, may impose s…
