Signed language linguists, what sign do you use for argument when you’re talking about argument structure? There isn’t a specific sign in Norwegian SL, so would love your thoughts 🙏

Repost of my old "Types of Sign Language Paper". #Linguistics #SignLanguages
A 3x4 grid of seemingly academic papers where only the titles are legible. Top header reads "Types of sign language paper" and the (joke) paper titles read:
•That one paper non-SL linguists ever cite (if any)
•Commentary: revisiting reanalyses of so-called verb agreement - the very final word
•Generic handbook chapter published 3 times already
•I-co-ni-ci-ty!!!
•SLs do this thing (actually we tested hearing gesturers)
•Something something something variation
•We wasted time making yet another sign translation glove
•We developed a new transcription system! You'll all use it from now on, right? Guys? 
•Frogs, dogs and dangerous things: a corpus study
•Let me take these terms and redefine them completely lmao
•Indicating an anaphoric real space  tobek blend R-locus location index in signing space
•Yes, but is it "linguistic"?

When did cf. switch from meaning “compare” to being a synonym for “see” ? I feel like I missed an important memo

My first Bluesky-post and what a joy that it is to congratulate Dr. @brittanyarnold.bsky.social with successfully completing her PhD defense! Topic of her work: “Question-Asking in Norwegian Sign Language: A Multi-Method Approach”.
