The study of polysemy, understood as the coexistence of several related meanings within a single word, provides a window into the cognitive mechanisms that structure and generate meaning. Polysemy is not defined solely by the multiplicity of senses, but by the processes that create and link them, making it both a lexical and a conceptual phenomenon. Although linguistic and psycholinguistic research has extensively examined how speakers select the appropriate sense of polysemous words, one questi

This study is a preliminary investigation into the syntax of South African Sign Language. Utilising narrative data within a case study approach, signing is observed and analysed in terms of Radical Construction Grammar. An emphasis is placed on signs as form-meaning pairings, in which information of form is drawn from previous research on the phonology and morpho-syntax of signed languages. Meaning is explained within the same sphere, drawing on established literature regarding meaning in signed
