This study investigates the distinction between gestures and signs within KoreanSign Language (KSL), with a specific emphasis on personal pronouns and theirgrammaticalization. Key inquiries addressed include the relationship betweenhandshapes in KSL pronouns and those in Korean spoken language gestures,the correlation between KSL pronouns and grammatical markers, and thevariability observed in KSL first-person pronouns. The research juxtaposes twotheoretical frameworks: the formal linguistic perspective, which posits gesturesand signs as discrete entities, and the cognitive psychology viewpoint, whichconceptualizes a continuum from gestures to signs. Evidence corroborating theformal linguistic stance includes handshape consistency across different signers,distinctiveness from gestural movements, stability in form, and integration intobroader linguistic structures. Conversely, evidence favoring the cognitivepsychology perspective highlights the gradual transformation of previouslygestural elements into fixed signs and the coexistence of diverse formsrepresenting various stages of linguistic development. This study contributes toa nuanced understanding of KSL's distinctive attributes and offers valuableinsights into broader linguistic phenomena, enriching our comprehension of theevolutionary and functional dynamics of sign languages as structuredcommunication systems.
