  • Loan signs, initialized signs, and semantic translations show various influence levels from Polish into sign language.
  • Phonetic analogy leads to dual meanings in signs based on their phonetic resemblance to Polish words.
  • This exploration aligns with translanguaging concepts and the study of linguistic multimodality.
