arXiv:2606.28667v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Sign languages are compositional systems where meaning arises by combining sublexical phonological parameters, such as handshape, location, and movement. While deep learning models for Sign Language Recognition (SLR) have achieved increased performance on translation benchmarks, it remains unclear whether these models distinguish abstract phonological features or merely rely on low-level statistical correlations. This work evaluates the phonological perception of SLR models trained on American Sign Language (ASL) by probing phonological sensitivi
