Abstract

According to scholarly literature and linguistic data, affixation (type of word formation) can be found in the Georgian Sign Language (GESL). This paper discusses morphosemantics of the destination sign (an affix found in GESL). The GESL data suggest that the sign can be considered a derivational affix and can be called  a "destination affix" (DS). Its main morphosemantic function is to produce adjectives or nouns with the possessive-destination-purpose semantics.
