Some Arguments for Syntactic Patterning in American Sign Language.
Padden, Carol
Sign Language Studies, n32 p239-59 Fall 1981
Uses data from American Sign Language complement structures to show that a syntactic theory is needed to account for these in a formal way. Constraints on the forms of these structures are discussed in terms of syntactic constraints, rather than pragmatic or functional conditions. (Author/AMH)
