Yeah this is also a sign for argument in NTS and that’s what I’ve been using but we’ve been discussing that it doesn’t fit the concept

Signed language linguists, what sign do you use for argument when you’re talking about argument structure? There isn’t a specific sign in Norwegian SL, so would love your thoughts 🙏

A 3x4 grid of seemingly academic papers where only the titles are legible. Top header reads "Types of sign language paper" and the (joke) paper titles read:
•That one paper non-SL linguists ever cite (if any)
•Commentary: revisiting reanalyses of so-called verb agreement - the very final word
•Generic handbook chapter published 3 times already
•I-co-ni-ci-ty!!!
•SLs do this thing (actually we tested hearing gesturers)
•Something something something variation
•We wasted time making yet another sign translation glove
•We developed a new transcription system! You'll all use it from now on, right? Guys? 
•Frogs, dogs and dangerous things: a corpus study
•Let me take these terms and redefine them completely lmao
•Indicating an anaphoric real space  tobek blend R-locus location index in signing space
•Yes, but is it "linguistic"?

When did cf. switch from meaning “compare” to being a synonym for “see” ? I feel like I missed an important memo

My first Bluesky-post and what a joy that it is to congratulate Dr. @brittanyarnold.bsky.social with successfully completing her PhD defense! Topic of her work: “Question-Asking in Norwegian Sign Language: A Multi-Method Approach”.
