| Sumario: | Peruvian sign language (LSP) is a visual-gestural native language of Peru used by the deaf community of the country. This paper aims to present preliminary findings about relative clauses in this language. Relative clauses are grammatical constructions that consist in a nominal element and a subordinate clause that modifies that nominal element. For the present investigation, we interviewed 4 LSP signers and we documented the relative clauses they realized. Thereby, we have found that LSP has postnominal relative clauses with both internal and external heads. Moreover, we have found a resumptive pronoun in this type of construction. Finally, we present an analysis of our data using the raising analysis of relative clauses. |
