Lexicogenesis in Peruvian Sign Language: processes involved in the creation of signs for administrative territorial divisions
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
This paper aims to analyse signs for administrative territorial divisions in Peruvian Sign Language (LSP) in order to obtain the main word-formation processes of these toponymic signs. In this research, data was collected with LSP Deaf signers by using a list with names for Peruvian administrative territorial divisions, for instance names for Peruvian departments and capitals. Then, in order to determinate the diverse word-formation processes, an analysis of elicited data was carried out. The results show that processes involved in the creation of these signs can be divided into two groups: linguistic processes, for example, fingerspelling and compounding, and cognitive mechanisms, such as metonymy.
