This study investigates several morphological characteristics of verbs in Taiwan Sign Language. I have worked within the framework of autosegmental phonology (Goldsmith, 1976) and the autosegmental sign language transcription system developed by Liddell and Johnson at Gallaudet University (Liddell & Johnson, 1985; Liddell, in press; Liddell & Johnson, in preparation).Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This study investigates several morphological characteristics of verbs in Taiwan Sign Language. I have worked within the framework of autosegmental phonology (Goldsmith, 1976) and the autosegmental sign language transcription system developed by Liddell and Johnson at Gallaudet University (Liddell & Johnson, 1985; Liddell, in press; Liddell & Johnson, in preparation).
520 $a The morphological analysis of a large number of TSL verbs and verb-like forms has led to the delineation of three major categories of verbs in TSL: nonagreement verbs, agreement verbs, and spatial-locative predicates. These three categories are distinguished on the basis of their ability to use space meaningfully. Agreement verbs use space to indicate subject/object agreement. Spatial-locative predicates use it to describe the location or movement of people and objects in the abstract world. Nonagreement verbs differ from the other two categories in that they do not use space in a meaningful way. Research on other sign languages has pointed up essentially the same three categories of verbs, so the use of these three types of verbs is apparently very widespread. TSL is unusual, however, in that it occasionally allows the production of two verbs at the same time, something which is totally impossible in a spoken language, and undocumented in other sign languages.
520 $a Agreement verbs, and occasionally nonagreement verbs, may undergo a morphophonemic process by which they may incorporate gender of number affixes into their morphology. Research to date has shown no evidence for similar gender/number affixes in ASL or any other sign language.
520 $a TSL also contains three auxiliary verbs which carry subject and/or object agreement information whenever the main verb cannot do so. Each of these auxiliaries has a reciprocal form, and each may also participate in the same morphophonemic process which incorporates gender and number affixes into verbs. This again is remarkable in that ASL and other sign languages do not display such an ability.
520 $a The gender and number affixes, as well as the auxiliary verbs, provide evidence for an active process of grammaticization in TSL. The gender and number affixes find their ultimate source in TSL nouns and numerals. Two of the auxiliary verbs have their source in TSL agreement verbs, and the third may stem from the concatenation of two personal pronouns.
520 $a This study has pointed up a large number of linguistic features associated with the verbal system in TSL. Some are easily found in other languages, both signed and spoken, yet others so far seem to be unique to TSL. One of the major findings of this research has been that sign languages may differ as much from each other as they do from spoken languages.
