Iconicity and Verb Agreement: A Corpus-Based Syntactic Analysis of German Sign Language

For many sign languages around the world, it has been argued that some verbs express grammatical agreement with one or two arguments, while other verbs do not express agreement at all. Based on the analysis of naturalistic corpus data, this book puts forward the proposal that in German Sign Language (DGS), all verbs grammatically agree with their arguments - even if agreement is not always overtly realized. This motivates a unified syntactic analysis of constructions with verbs of all types, thus presenting a novel solution to the typological puzzle that supposedly only a subset of verbs agree in DGS and other sign languages.
