A Grammar of Catalan Sign Language (LSC)

The dual signals that two entities are involved. It can be marked in two different ways:

i) The verb is repeated once.

ix_3x+3y-plclean sweep_x sweep_y punish.

‘Both of them are punished to sweep (the floor).’

(based on Ribera, 2015: 385)

ii) In the case of one-handed signs, the non-dominant hand can be added in the articulation of the verb in order to express the dual plural. When the non-dominant hand is added and articulated at the same time it means that the two actions occurred at the same time.

dh: take

ndh: take

(based on Ribera, 2014: 383)
