The non-manuals marking conjunctive coordination have a different spreading domain. The first conjunct is generally produced on the right of the signing space, hence the signer’s head and body are turned to the right (this is indicated in the example below by the subscript ‘a’). The second conjunct is produced on the opposite side of the signing space, hence the signer’s head and body are turned to the left (this is indicated in the example below by the subscript ‘b’). The chin is lowered at the end of the first clause (and optionally also at the end of the second clause) (cd), and a signing pause and eye blink occur at the boundary of the two clauses.
