Abstract
La lengua de señas peruana (LSP) es una lengua viso-gestual originaria del Perú utilizada
por la comunidad sorda del país. La presente investigación tuvo como objetivo principal
describir el sistema de pronombres personales de la LSP y analizar su comportamiento.
Para ello, revisamos distintos análisis de estos elementos en otras lenguas de señas y
concluimos que en la LSP se pueden distinguir dos formas de persona gramatical, como
propone Meier (1990): primera persona y no primera persona. Siguiendo dicha propuesta,
consideramos que en LSP la primera persona agrupa a todos los apuntes dirigidos hacia
el pecho del señante y la no primera persona agrupa a todas las otras formas de referencia
personal. Con respecto a los apuntes a referentes no presentes en el mismo espacio que el
señante (o apuntes a un locus), encontramos un comportamiento mixto de este elemento
como tanto un demostrativo y un determinante, pero es claro que no es un pronombre
personal. Así, el sistema de pronombres personales de la LSP estaría compuesto por un
pronombre de primera persona singular y un agrupamiento de esta con la no primera
persona, además de un único pronombre de no primera persona singular.
Peruvian Sign Language (LSP) is a visual-gestural native language of Peru used by the deaf community of the country. The aim of this research was to describe the personal pronouns system of LSP and analyze its behavior. To that end, we reviewed different analyses for these elements in other sign languages and we conclude that in LSP two forms of grammatical person can be distinguished, as proposed by Meier (1990): first person and non-first person. Following this proposal, we consider that in LSP first person clusters every pointing towards the signer’s chest and non-first person clusters every other form of personal reference. Regarding pointing towards non-present referents that do not share the same space as the signer (or pointing to a locus), we found a mixed behavior of this element as both a demonstrative and a determiner, but it is clear that it is not a personal pronoun. Thereby, the personal pronouns system of the LSP would be composed of a first person singular pronoun and a personal pronoun set of this person with the non-first, besides a unique singular non-first person personal pronoun.
