Abstract | This article presents a comparison of constructions used to express size and shape in cospeech gesture and in two village sign languages. The analysis focuses on body part size and shape constructions found in the gestures of speakers of Anyi (Côte d'Ivoire), in the emerging sign language of Bouakako (Côte d'Ivoire), and the older, well-established sign language of Adamorobe (Ghana). An analysis in terms of diversity in forms and in combinatorial properties is indicative of grammaticalization and lexicalization taking place over time. (As Provided). |
