Description: Meaning of Space in Sign Language : Reference, Specificity and Structure in Catalan Sign Language Discourse, Hardcover by Altimira, Gemma Barbera, ISBN 1614518661, ISBN-13 9781614518662, Brand New, Free shipping in the US This study examines the semantics and pragmatics of signing space in Catalan Sign Language (LSC). Specifically, the study applies a dynamic semantic theory, called Discourse Representation Theory, to the visual-spatial language of LSC. It demonstrates that spatial locations are integrated into the grammar of LSC and explores the role they play in specificity marking. Using a small-scale LSC corpus, the study shows that spatial locations consist in abstract points established in space. Each section begins with an overview of relevant theory.
