Argument Structure of Classifier Predicates: Canonical and Non-canonical Mappings in Four Sign Languages [PDF]
We analyze argument structure of whole-entity and handling classifier predicates in four sign languages (Russian Sign Language, Sign Language of the Netherlands, German Sign Language, and Kata Kolok) using parallel datasets (retellings of the Canary Row ...

Show Me What You’ve B/Seen: A Brief History of Depiction [PDF]
Already at a relatively early stage, modern sign language linguistics focused on the representation of (actions, locations, and motions of) referents (1) through the use of the body and its different articulators and (2) through the use of particular ...

Instance reducibility and Weihrauch degrees [PDF]
We identify a notion of reducibility between predicates, called instance reducibility, which commonly appears in reverse constructive mathematics. The notion can be generally used to compare and classify various principles studied in reverse constructive

Argument structure of classifier predicates in Russian Sign Language [PDF]
We analyze classifier predicates in Russian Sign Language (RSL) using a combination of naturalistic corpus and elicited data in order to determine their argument structure, and to test the generalization, based on research on other sign languages, that there is a clear relation between argument structure and classifier type (Benedicto and Brentari 2004)

In second language research, the concept of cross-linguistic influence or transfer has frequently been used to describe the interaction between the first language (L1) and second language (L2) in the L2 acquisition process.

The Semantic Role of Classifiers in Japanese
In obligatory classifier languages like Japanese, numerals cannot directly modify nouns without the help of a classifier. It is standardly considered that this is because nouns in obligatory classifier languages have ‘uncountable denotations’, unlike in ...

Basic argument structure in Russian Sign Language
In this paper, basic verb classes and argument structure alternations in Russian Sign Language (RSL) are described, and the implications of these data for the theory of argument structure are discussed. The analysis is based on data elicited using a list

Una aproximación morfológica a las construcciones clasificatorias en la lengua de signos española
Since the pioneering work of Ted Supalla in 1978, it has been demostrated that sign languages use classifiers, specially in classifier predicates, in a typologically congruent way that seems nevertheless to exceed the limits of oral channel ...

A particular type of signs has been referred to as “classifier verbs” by a number of sign language linguists in the past four decades. This tradition developed as a parallel to the description of classifier predicates in spoken languages. The application
