A Grammar of Italian Sign Language (LIS)

This section describes some properties displayed by LIS coordinated clauses.

As shown in (SYNTAX 3.1), clauses may be coordinated either through the employment of conjunctions, as the manual sign plus in (a), or through the juxtaposition of the conjoined clauses, as in (b) below.

a. l-a-u-r-a book read plus c-a-r-l-o television see

‘Laura reads a book and Carlo watches television.’

b. maria food cook stir l-u-c-a table dish++ arrange
