Abstract:

This comparative study on the Sign Language of the Netherlands (NGT) and
Italian Sign Language (LIS) addresses and discusses a wide range of aspects
regarding grammar - the position of the adjectives, numerals and 
demonstratives, the linear ordering of selected aspectual markers and modals, 
topicalization, negation, imperative and interrogative clauses, as well as 
conditional clauses and LIS relative clauses. The study shows that LIS and 
NGT display a considerable degree of cross-and intra-linguistic variation and 
tries to assess whether the observed differences can be derived from one 
universal specifierhead-complement deep structure, shared by all sign and 
spoken languages. Although further aspects of LIS and NGT must still be 
examined, the study shows that an antisymmetric analysis of these sign 
languages is certainly worth undertaking.
