1.1.1. Sequential compounds
Sequential compounds are signed sequentially, that is, one constituent of the compound item is signed after the other. Sometimes, one constituent is signed in its full form, such as in (a). However, it is also possible to find some kind of alteration in its phonological properties, such as reduction or assimilation, in example (b), illustrating assimilation [MORPHOLOGY 1.1.2.2]. In the case of (b) the first sign loses the second place of articulation, while the second sign maintains the two places of articulation.
a) person^need (‘beneficiary’)
(extracted from the corpus created in Villaécija, 2019)
b) father^mother (‘parents’)
