Abstract
This paper examines backgrounding strategies for human agents in Catalan Sign Language, that is, constructions
featuring human agents that are non-referential. We identify and analyze four types of agent-backgrounding strategies: subjectless
constructions, indefinite pronouns, the impersonal axis, and general nouns. Extending on previous work, we offer a description and
a semantico-pragmatic analysis of each construction.
