Aquesta característica, pròpia de les llengües de signes, ha estat difícil de tractar des de models tradicionals, que sovint han considerat que el moviment-qu és universalment cap a l'esquerra i que sovint han assumit que l'estructura sintàctica codifica informació respecte de l'ordre lineal dels elements lingüístics. Es proposa que la jerarquia sintàctica i l'ordre lineal són dos objectes diferents i amb un impacte limitat l'un sobre l'altre i que el segon depèn principalment de mecanismes de processament lingüístic i, específicament, de la Memòria de Treball. En aquest sentit, s'hipotetitza que la diferència en la ubicació dels elements-qu entre llengües de signes i llengües orals respon a diferències en la Memòria de Treball. Per a explorar aquesta hipòtesi, s'exposen els resultats de dos experiments amb participants Sords i oients.Programa de doctorat en Traducció i Ciències del LlenguatgeUniversitat Pompeu FabraQuer, JosepUniversitat Pompeu Fabra.

description This dissertation offers a characterization and an analysis of wh-questions in Catalan Sign Language, which show the particularity of placing wh-expressions canonically in sentence final position. This feature, specific to Sign Languages, has been difficult to deal with from traditional models, which have often considered that wh-movement is universally to the left and which have also often assumed that syntactic structure encodes information about the linear order of linguistic elements. The dissertation also argues that syntactic hierarchy and linear order are two different objects with a limited impact over one another, and that the latter is mainly dependent on the mechanisms of linguistic processing and, specifically, on Working Memory. In that sense, the hypothesis that the difference in the placing of wh-elements between Sign Languages and Spoken Languages is due to differences in Working Memory is put forwards. To explore it, the results of two experiments with Deaf and hearing participants are discussed.
