Resumen
In our commentary, we raise concerns with the idea that
location should be considered a gestural component of sign languages.
We argue that psycholinguistic studies provide evidence for location as a
“categorical” element of signs. More generally, we propose that the use
of space in sign languages comes in many flavours and may be both
categorical and imagistic.
