Conjunctions are parts of speech that connect two or more elements, such as single signs, phrases, and clauses.
This section describes how LIS connects signs within a clause and how clauses are conjoined through manual and non-manual markers. In the following sections, three types of conjunctions are illustrated: coordinating conjunctions (LEXICON 3.9.1), subordinating conjunctions (LEXICON 3.9.2), and correlative conjunctions (LEXICON 3.9.3). For more information on how clauses are conjoined, the reader is referred to the section on coordination and subordination (SYNTAX 3).
