3.1.1. Person and locative markers

The present section describes how person agreement is phonologically marked on the three verb classes described in LEXICON 3.2. Person agreement differs from locative agreement, explored in MORPHOLOGY 3.1.1.3, in that it defines morphosyntactic relations between the predicate and its arguments. Locative agreement, instead, defines locative relations in spatial verbs.

To convey both person and locative agreement, it is common to associate arguments to specific loci of the signing space. Arguments and locations can also be marked through classifiers (MORPHOLOGY 5.1), or role shift (SYNTAX 3.3.3).
