A Typological Overview

9. Mai 2024 Crab (33.3.088) en Typology and Variational Linguistics

In my presentation I will share general information on Classifier Constructions (CCs) and discuss the similarities as well as differences between classifiers in spoken and signed languages. Following that, I will take a closer look at the classifier-inventory of sign languages. After comparing the CCs of different sign languages, I will concentrate on DGS and present its inventory in greater detail.
