Area of Science:

  • Linguistics
  • Semantics
  • Sign Language Studies

Background:

  • Languages utilize predicates and arguments to convey events and participants.
  • Participant roles (macroroles, mesoroles, microroles) are key to understanding argument distinctions.
  • Previous research provides a foundation for analyzing argument strategies across languages.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the formal properties of arguments for 14 verb meanings in Spanish Sign Language.
  • To investigate how arguments group based on their properties.
  • To identify generalizations explaining verb-specific argument expression tendencies.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of argument microroles for a set of 14 verb meanings.
  • Application of a quantitative method to measure property distances.

    • Main Results:

    • Arguments in Spanish Sign Language exhibit distinct groupings based on microrole properties.
    • A quantitative approach revealed measurable distances between argument properties.
    • Specific verb meanings show tendencies to associate with particular argument expression forms.

    Conclusions:

    • The study highlights novel insights into argument structure in Spanish Sign Language.
    • Findings contribute to understanding cross-linguistic variation in argument realization.
    • Generalizations are proposed regarding the link between verb meaning and argument expression.
