Abstract

This study investigates the role of lexicon in understanding sign languages, highlighting its importance for the development of educational and communication strategies for deaf individuals. The research reviews the literature on lexicon and sign languages, exploring theories of lexical acquisition and previous empirical evidence. Using a methodological approach that combines linguistic and psycholinguistic analysis, data were collected from deaf participants fluent in sign languages. The results reveal that the lexicon plays a fundamental role in sign language comprehension, directly influencing communication effectiveness and access to information for deaf individuals. The discussion emphasizes the importance of considering the lexicon in formulating inclusive language and educational policies. It is concluded that a better understanding of lexicon in sign languages can significantly contribute to promoting equal opportunities and empowering deaf communities.
