PART 4 Morphology
This Part illustrates the morphological processes of LIS.
The first two chapters deal with two lexical word formation processes, namely compounding (MORPHOLOGY 1) and derivation (MORPHOLOGY 2). On the other hand, the third and fourth chapters consider inflectional processes employed to encode morphosyntactic features on verbs, i.e. verbal inflection (MORPHOLOGY 3) and nouns, i.e. nominal inflection (MORPHOLOGY 4), through both modifications of the manual signs and/or the articulation of dedicated non-manual markers. The last chapter (MORPHOLOGY 5) describes the complex system of LIS classifiers by considering classifier predicates and Size-And-Shape Specifiers (SASS).
