A Grammar of Italian Sign Language (LIS)

3.1.2.2.2. Position of manual markers in adversative coordination

In adversative coordination, the manual marker but occurs between the first and the second clause, as confirmed by the presence of the following prosodic non-manual markings signalling the clause boundary between the first and the second conjunct: a pause in the signing stream, eye blink and chin down (cd) after the last sign of the first clause. These non-manuals marking the end of the first clause precede the manual marker but.

anna_a mario_b_apersuade_b done but party _bgo_a not

‘Anna tried to persuade Mario, but he didn’t go to the party.’
