Abstract

The ability to segment continuous activity into parts is an important component of understanding narratives. Studies show that during the perception of an activity, whether it is performed or narrated, changes in the characteristics displayed in the information source act as clues for segmentation in significant events. In this review study, we observed how situational changes (time, space, character, object, objective and causality) and physical changes (linguistic marks) act in the narrative segmentation process, with the aim of showing how sign languages share linguistic and non-linguistic features that act as boundary marks in the event segmentation mechanism.
