Choice of classifier handshape in Catalan Sign Language
Classifier predicates are sign language modality specific constructions that are widely spread in all attested sign languages. Extended research has been devoted to the study of these structures, but many aspects related to their nature remain unclear. This article examines the factors that influence the choice of handshape in classifier predicates referring to anthropomorphic entities in Catalan Sign Language (LSC). We present the results of a c…
The indefinite-interrogative affinity in Catalan Sign Language (LSC)
This paper explores the morphology and the licensing conditions of a particular type of indefinite pronouns, referred to as quex-indefinites, which are morphologically identical or closely related to question words. We present findings from two studies investigating these forms in Catalan Sign Language (LSC). The first study is based on elicitation with three LSC consultants, while the second is an online experiment which collected judgments from…
Person and number in Catalan Sign Language pronouns
Languages use different resources to specify the numerosity of the referents and to denote the speech act participants. This thesis describes the morphophonological strategies used in Catalan Sign Language (LSC) personal pronouns to encode these distinctions. In a nutshell, I argue that the expression of person and number is achieved by using two interrelated strategies: person is expressed through spatial features (locations in the signing space…
Sedentary versus active leisure activities and their relationship with sleeping habits and body mass index in children of 9 and 10 years of age
A random sample of 291 9- and 10-year-old schoolchildren from Asturias (Spain) was taken. Using path analysis, a model was tested in which bedtime, the number of hours spent sleeping and leisure activities were the independent variables and the body mass index was the dependent variable. The results show that sedentary and active leisure time and hours spent sleeping are predictors of the body mass index in children. Those children who go to bed …
