Keywords:
Georgian Sign Language, GESL, nouns, affix, sign languages, morphology.Abstract
The Sign Languages mostly have simultaneous or synchronic morphology, which means that signs change their phonological features to display grammatical categories, although Georgian sign language (GESL) can be described as a language of a mixed morphology using both sequential and simultaneous means. The presented paper describes the derivational and flexional affixes of GESL nouns. It also gives the recommendations for teaching the nouns at Deaf schools in Georgia.
