Reciprocity in Czech Sign Language
Tamchynová, Veronika ; Hudáková, Andrea (advisor) ; Richterová, Klára (referee)
The thesis describes the possibilities of expressing reciprocity in Czech sign language. The term reciprocity and its defining criteria in language are first defined based on both Czech and foreign research literature. Videos for elicitation were selected based on the conditions that a reciprocal event must fulfill. Pairs of reciprocal and non-reciprocal events involving the same verb were analyzed. The form of reciprocal verbs was then compared with their non-reciprocal counterparts. Other means of encoding reciprocity were also described. One of the goals of this research was to determine whether the strategy used to express reciprocity is related to the type of the verb in its citation form. The results were compared with other languages, mainly with different sign languages. Keywords: reciprocity, reciprocal verbs, agreement verbs, types of verbs, Czech sign language
