Zusammenfassung:The goal of this paper is to explore certain syntactic properties of classifier predicates, in particular, the realization of the argument structure associated with them. The work presented here is a first approach to a crosslinguistic syntactic analysis of two sign languages: Catalan Sign Language (LSC) and Argentinian Sign Language (LSA). 1 1 Despite the historical, cultural and linguistic links between Argentina and Spain, there is no attested genetic relationship between the sign languages under study.
