3.1.2.1.2. Manual markers in adversative coordination

In adversative coordination, LIS may employ the manual marker glossed but produced either as a one-handed (a) or two-handed (b) sign with all fingers extended, as shown in the pictures below.

 

                           

            a.         but (one-handed)                                                       

           

             

            b.         but (two-handed)

 

The example below shows the use of but in a sentence.

 

 

 

            laura wine drink want but father want not

            โ€˜Laura wants to drink wine, but her father doesnโ€™t want her to.โ€™
