A Grammar of Catalan Sign Language (LSC)

2.3.3.5. Word order variations according to the different types of verbs (plain, agreeing)

Sometimes the basic word order varies depending on the type of verb. For instance, some verbs can incorporate the object in one single form. This is the case for examples of some agreement verbs that can specify the subject, the direct object and the indirect object in the same form, as in the examples below.

a) ix₁ keep(loc) already.

‘I've already put it away.’

b) ix(poss)₁ grandparent woman ix₃ flower ₃flower_give₃.

‘He gave a flower bouquet to my grandmother.’

(examples a-b based on Quer et al., 2005)
