Comparing LSFB Signers' and Belgian French Speakers' Constructed Action Practices

These studies about the use of constructed action (CA) in LSFB and (Belgian) French were carried out in the context of my PhD project at the LSFB-Lab of the University of Namur, funded by an F.R.S.-FNRS Research Fellow grant. These studies are based on annotations carried out on videos of conversations and narrative retellings from the LSFB and FRAPé directly comparable corpus: - Study 1: Comparing the frequency (proportion of discourse time) of CA in LSFB and Belgian French - Study 2: Comparing the coordination of different articulators for CA in LSFB and Belgian French - Study 3: Comparing the proportions of (subtle, reduced, overt) CA degrees across LSFB and Belgian French
