What is it about?

The paper is about indirect object markers in Georgian Sign Language (GESL). These markers are auxiliary-like elements that introduce an additional argument. The four markers are discussed in total. Three of these markers do not only introduce an argument but come with additional semantics, namely respect, disrespect, and causation. The presence of an indirect object marker frees the word order in the sentence.

Why is it important?

This paper presents one of the first studies on Georgian Sign Language (GESL), a sign language that has not previously been taken into consideration in typological research on sign languages. GESL data sheds more light to argument agreement systems in Sign Languages.
