Colours and numerals in Spanish Sign Language (LSE)
Temas
Detalles
This chapter presents an account of variation in Spanish Sign Language, through a study of signs for colours and numerals. In the section on colour signs we focus on the description of variants in the form of the signs as well as in the meanings. For the former, a diachronic perspective is adopted, and, with the help of dictionaries and glossaries, we analyse variations in the articulation of existing signs for expressing colours. For the latter (variation in meaning), we analyse similarities and differences between LSE and spoken Spanish in the expression of colour-based idioms. For this part of our analysis we have relied on several deaf consultants.
