For this purpose, we use Pfau and Steinbach´s (2005) classification of nouns. Depending on the morpho-phonology of the signs, they divide nouns into four categories: lateral articulation nouns, sagittal articulation nouns, body-anchored nouns, and complex movement nouns. We worked in a discussion group with Deaf people and interpreters on real constructions taken mostly from videos in LSA. Our study shows that, for LSA, nouns with lateral articulation and those with sagittal articulation admit reduplication with sidewards movement (the latter with differences depending on whether the sign is one-handed or two-handed); body-anchored nouns admit, some of them, simple reduplication nouns, and others none at all (0-marking); and nouns with complex movement do not admit reduplication. Likewise, we observe that, in cases of 0-marking, the plural morpheme can be expressed together with another sign, which can be of different categories. With this, we differ from the proposal of Muñoz Pérez, Boria and Galvez (2020), for whom only lateral articulated nouns admit reduplication, and in all other cases the plural information is externalized by means of a classifier. Ver resumen en LSA La presente investigación se propone describir la reduplicación nominal en Lengua de Señas Argentina (LSA), específicamente como mecanismo de marcación de plural. Para ello, partimos de la clasificación de sustantivos aportada por Pfau y Steinbach (2005) en nombres de articulación lateral, articulación sagital, anclados al cuerpo y de movimiento complejo. Organizamos un grupo de discusión con personas Sordas e intérpretes en el que analizamos construcciones reales extraídas mayoritariamente de videos en LSA. Identificamos que, para la LSA, los sustantivos de articulación lateral y los de articulación sagital admiten la reduplicación con desplazamiento (los segundos con diferencias según la seña sea unimanual o bimanual); los nombres anclados al cuerpo admiten, algunos, la reduplicación simple, y otros ninguna (marcación 0); y los sustantivos con movimiento complejo no admiten la reduplicación. A su vez, observamos que, en los casos de marcación 0, el morfema de plural puede expresarse unido a otra seña, la cual puede ser de distintas categorías. Con ello, diferimos en la propuesta de Muñoz Pérez, Boria y Galvez (2020) para este mismo fenómeno en LSA, para quienes únicamente los sustantivos de articulación lateral admiten la reduplicación, y en todos los demás casos la información de plural debe exteriorizarse mediante un clasificador.
