Abstract:
This thesis examines agreement in Spanish Sign Language (lengua de signos
española – LSE) and provides a comprehensive description of the agreement
mechanisms available to the language based on data collected from LSE signers
from the Basque Country. This description makes it possible to compare
agreement in LSE with what has been described for other sign languages, and
also to offer a cross-modal comparison of the phenomenon, that is, to compare
agreement in a signed language to agreement in spoken languages. Underlying
this comparison is the issue of whether what we call agreement in sign
languages is the same thing as what is called agreement in spoken languages.
The study provides a strong case that this spatial mechanism in LSE (i) is a
type of agreement that is similar to what has been described for other sign
languages, (ii) is comparable to agreement processes in spoken languages, and
(iii) can be accounted for in syntactic terms. The thesis includes discussion
of what the findings tell us about LSE, sign languages, and natural languages
in general.
