Existência e manifestação da recursividade em Libras
Keywords:
recursividade, Libras, línguas de sinais, sintaxeAbstract
Recursion in human languages ”‹”‹has been an important topic of discussion among language scholars since, at least, the XVII Century. Most studies, however, are restricted to oral languages ”‹”‹(cf. Amaral et al. 2018 for a recent broad discussion, for example). In sign languages ”‹”‹(and in Brazilian sign language - LSB, especially), the existing studies are few and inconclusive regarding its existence and manifestation. The objective of this squib, therefore, is to discuss some hypotheses about recursion in LSB, such as: 1) is there recursion in LSB? 2) is the recursive manifestation in LSB different from that usually found in oral languages ”‹”‹(due to the spatial-visual modality of sign languages)? 3) are there, in LSB, manual and non-manual recursion markers? and 4) can recursion manifest itself in the intensification of the movement parameter?
Keywords: Recursion; LSB; Sign languages; Syntax.
