Brendan Costello
Brendan Costello is an Associate Group Leader and Ikerbasque Research Fellow at the BCBL (Basque Center on Cognition, Brain and Language), where he leads the Sign Language and Deafness Team. His main research interest is how modality impacts language; his work looks at different aspects sign language and its representation in the mind. The SIGNifica project (2023-2026) explores the structure of the LSE (Spanish Sign Language) lexicon, including how iconicity mediates the relationship between form and meaning.

Her main research interests are semantics, pragmatics and their interaction with prosody, and the phonology of sign languages. She has worked on many different topics including Information Structure, non-truth conditional meaning, and classifier predicates. Currently, she is working on a project that explores the perception of phonological contrasts in different sign languages, and is also collaborating in the development of the SIGNifica project.
