Resumo
Among various strategies employed by languages to encode reciprocity, there is the useof lexical reciprocals, which specify this relation inherently to the verb. In this paper, weanalyze verbs that are inherently reciprocal in Brazilian Sign Language (Libras) and weshow that they have an interesting pattern, regarding hand specification (with all inher-ently reciprocal verbs being two-handed) and also movement type (whether character-ized by singular or repeated movement as opposed to alternating movement). We willargue in favor of a phonology-semantics interface, in such a way that two-handedness isrelated to participant mapping and the different types of movement mark the differencebetween symmetrical and non-symmetrical reciprocals.
