“…Another phenomenon claimed to constitute agreement in sign languages is role shift, also known as constructed action (Metzger 1995;Cormier et al 2015b) -i.e., a form of enactment, where one or more bodily articulators (including the head, face, eye gaze, arms and torso) are used to mimetically represent the utterances, thoughts, feelings and/or actions of one or more referents (also used in multimodal direct quotation by non-signers, e.g., Stec et al 2016). It is the use of non-manual markers during role shift that has been considered by some to be part of an agreement system.…”

In this paper, we present arguments for an analysis of indicating verbs, building on Liddell (2000), as a typologically unique, unimodal fusion of signs and pointing gestures used for reference tracking. This contrasts with many formalist analyses that assume that directionality in indicating verbs constitutes an agreement marking system. While exploring some of the debate in the literature about these forms, we propose a model of indicating verbs within a Construction Grammar framework that compares them to multimodal constructions in spoken languages. We explain how our model of indicating verbs appear to align with a growing body of research on co-speech gesture and is supported by some recent findings about these verbs from corpus-based studies of sign languages.

“…Conclusions: Patterns found for the PWA differed from patterns reported for NBD speakers in several ways: First, the PWA used intonation and gesture shifts "flagging" enactment more often than NBD speakers (Stec, 2016). Second, the PWA used shifts in gesturing style more often for verbally indicated enactments than for "bare" enactments.…”

“…The following characteristics were assessed using categorisation systems as applied in previous research: Intonation (Debras, 2015;Stec, 2016); Gesture (Debras, 2015;Sidnell, 2006); Gaze (Debras, 2015;Sidnell, 2006;Stec, 2016); and Affiliation (speakers' endorsement of vs. dis(s)tancing from a stance attributed to an enacted speaker based on analysis of the sequential context, Debras, 2015). Finally, the co-occurrence of these characteristics and verbal indicators of enactment (e.g., person reference and reporting verb) was assessed.…”

“…These often co-occur and are closely timed with more conventional aspects of speech/sign, especially when used for direct quotation (see e.g. Sidnell 2006;Sams 2010;Stec et al 2016).…”
