Closing remarks -- $tReferences -- $tIndex 330 $aSince the recent creation of a large-scale corpus of Italian Sign Language (LIS), a new research branch has been established to study the sociolinguistic variation characterizing this language in various linguistic domains. However, for nominal modification, the role of language-internal variation remains uncertain. This volume represents the first attempt to investigate sign order variability in this domain, examining what shapes the syntactic structure of LIS nominal expressions. In particular, three empirical studies are presented and discussed: the first two are corpus studies investigating the distribution and duration of nominal modifiers, while the third deals with the syntactic behavior of cardinal numerals, an unexplored area. In this enterprise, three different theoretical dimensions of inquiry are innovatively combined: linguistic typology, generative linguistics, and sociolinguistics. The research setup involves both quantitative and qualitative data. This mixed approach starts from corpus data to present the phenomenon, examine linguistic facts on a large scale, and draw questions from these, and then looks at elicited and judgment-based data to provide valid insights and refine the analysis. Crucially, the combination of different methods contributes to a better understanding of the mechanisms driving nominal modification in LIS and its internal variation. 410 0$aSign languages and deaf communities ;$vVolume 8. 606 $aItalian Sign Language 606 $aItalian language 607 $aItaly$xLanguages 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $aGenerative Linguistics. 610 $aItalian Sign Language. 610 $aLinguistic Typology. 615 0$aItalian Sign Language. 615 0$aItalian language. 676 $a419.45 700 $aMantovan$b Lara$01040984 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910465804203321 996 $aNominal modification in Italian sign language$92464227 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01507nam 2200349Ia 450 001 996386636803316 005 20200824132226.0 035 $a(CKB)4940000000080801 035 $a(EEBO)2240851782 035 $a(OCoLC)ocm13541589e 035 $a(OCoLC)13541589 035 $a(EXLCZ)994940000000080801 100 $a19860507d1680 uy | 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurbn||||a|bb| 200 13$aAn epistle for true love, unity, and order in the Church of Christ$b[electronic resource] $eagainst the spirit of discord, disorder and confusion &c. : recommended to friends in truth chiefly for the sake of the weak and unstable minded for information and encouragement in our Christian unity and society, held in the spirit of Christ both in faith and practice /$fby two servants of the Church according to our measures, Anne Whitehead, Mary Elson 210 $aLondon $cPrinted and sold by Andrew Sowle ...$d[1680?] 215 $a14 p 300 $aDate of publication suggested by Wing. 300 $aReproduction of original in the Harvard University Library. 330 $aeebo-0062 606 $aSociety of Friends$vApologetic works 615 0$aSociety of Friends 700 $aWhitehead$b Anne$f1624-1686.$01004419 701 $aElson$b Mary$f1623 or 4-1707.$01004420 801 0$bEAG 801 1$bEAG 801 2$bWaOLN 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996386636803316 996 $aAn epistle for true love, unity, and order in the Church of Christ$92307270 997 $aUNISA
