A Grammar of German Sign Language (DGS)

3.4.2.1. List of relativization signs

DGS uses various relativization signs. The most common sign is the relative pronoun, ix(H), which is a grammaticalized form of the pointing sign ix. In addition, a special relative, i.e. ix(B), can be used for reference to human discourse referents. In certain contexts, the indexical sign person may also be used in relative clauses modifying head nouns that refer to human entities.
