This study is a preliminary investigation into the syntax of South African Sign Language. Utilising narrative data within a case study approach, signing is observed and analysed in terms of Radical Construction Grammar. An emphasis is placed on signs as form-meaning pairings, in which information of form is drawn from previous research on the phonology and morpho-syntax of signed languages. Meaning is explained within the same sphere, drawing on established literature regarding meaning in signed
