Subject outline
In this subject, students will examine the structures of signs and sequences from a linguistic perspective. Students will explore the theme of sign language universals, focusing on how sign languages develop grammatical structures that are linked to the visual-spacial dimension in which these languages operate. Specific topics examined are space and grammars; incorporating pronominalisation, verb inflection, role shift and time marking, classifiers, non-manual markers and sign order.
