Abstract:

This paper focuses on the grammatical distinction denoted by the two directions signs may take when localising DRs within the frontal plane, namely upper and lower. I argue that this relevant distinction stands for the overt marking of specificity and, unlike in spoken English or Catalan, indefinite noun phrases (NPs) in LSC are not ambiguous.
