Hello Ltamar,<div><br></div><div>I thought i would add one related word to SAME in ASL and that would be one of the variants of AGREE. The variant i am referring to is a compound sign where you begin with the sign THINK then use the SAME sign but in an agreement manner between person 1 and person 2. I know this is not about other signed languages to compare with ASL's SAME as wondered by you. I just thought this would add some interest to your question, smiles.</div>

Dear all,<br>
<br>
I was wondering whether anyone knew of signed languages in which the signs<br>
for SAME, SIMILAR or IDENTICAL can mark agreement with the elements they<br>
are equating, as ASL SAME does.<br>
<br>
For those unfamiliar with it, in ASL a Y handshape can move between two<br>
indices in space to indicate that their referents are similar, a-SAME-b<br>
(especially when one of them is the signer, 1-SAME-2, in a construction<br>
meaning ME-TOO or SAME-HERE); or, alternatively, the sign can move to a<br>
lesser degree in neutral space without agreeing with any object, in similar<br>
fashion to a 'plain verb'.<br>
<br>
I have not been able to find anything about this in the literature and I'd<br>
be curious to know if a similar pattern exists in other languages.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Itamar<br>
