[Slling-l] SLLING-L Digest - 11 Dec 2016 to 13 Dec 2016 (#2016-27)

[Nyst, V.A.S.]

Hi Annie,
Nice topic! One of the chapters in my thesis (pdf online,  nyst 2007) on Adamorobe Sign Language is on the expression of motion and includes an analysis of the verbs COME and GO which are central to constructions expressing motion in that language. Yolngu SL seems to be pretty similar in this respect, see the thesis of Anastasia Bauer.
Greetings,
Victoria Nyst

Subject: COME and GO in SL

Hello,
I am working  on the difference between COME and GO in french sign language.
I found lot of papers and researchs about spatial verbs, as classifier verbs of motion.
But I cannot find anything about lexical verbs of motion, and specifically about deitic verbs of motion.

Do you know where I can find references ?
Can anybody help me ?

Thanks,

FSL may be different, of course, but I can report to you an interesting difference between ASL and English that I have noticed: in English we can say, e.g., 'I'll come visit you' (or at least I can), where the verb 'come' takes your point of view, so to speak. That is impossible in ASL, where the signs GO and COME must always match the literal direction of motion.
Good luck with your study,
Peyton Todd

In British Sign Language you can say, "I'll come," by turning the hand so
that the palm faces in the direct of motion and the movement is away from
the body. The hand shape is the bent index finger with the fingers upwards
(in the Stoke sense).
