AB - This paper aims to investigate word order of adjective in Korean Sign Language, focusing on whether adjectives occur in prenominal position or postnominal position. 9 Deaf informants participated in the elicitation. We analyzed 173 tokens and found out the sentences that present the adjective position from informants.
This paper provides four findings: First, the ‘size’, ‘age’, ‘value’, and ‘color’ adjectives locate before and modify the noun. Second, the ‘physical property’ has similar locating percentage in both prenominal and postnominal position. Third, some parts of ‘speed’, ‘difficulty’, ‘similarity’, ‘quantification’ adjectives come and modify after the noun. Forth, some parts of ‘human propensity’, ‘speed’, and ‘qualification’ appear as predicate.
To conclude, only the core semantic type has the obvious order of adjectives. The rest of semantic types show different orders in individual words.
