Abstract (engelska)
This presentation explores the development of a comprehensive grammar of Libras (Brazilian Sign Language) grounded in corpus data.
It begins with an overview of the historical progression of Libras grammar research, and discusses the methodological challenges encountered when working with sign language corpora.
The talk delves into specific linguistic topics informing the grammar, including basic word order, observed variations and shifts in word order, and the structure of complex clauses such as parataxis, hypotaxis, and embedded clauses.
By integrating corpus-based evidence, this work aims to provide a detailed and empirically supported description of Libras syntax, contributing to both linguistic theory and practical applications in sign language linguistics.
Seminariet hålls på engelska med tolkning till svenskt teckenspråk.
