This is shown by analysing non-topicalised or focalised transitive and ditransitive sentences that were elicited from first language SZJ informants using Picture Description Task. The data further reveal that the visual-gestural modality, through which SZJ is transmitted, plays a role in linearization since visually influenced classifier predicates trigger the non-basic SOV sign order in this language.}, doi = {10.4467/23005920SPL.20.009.13162}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/studies-in-polish-linguistics/article/sign-order-in-slovenian-sign-language-transitive-and-ditransitive-sentences} }
