Depending on the author and the linguistic trend, s imultaneity in signed languages can have a phonological, morphological, syntactic o r semantic explanation (Miller 1994; Emmorey 2002; Sandler 1999; Wilbur 2000; Cuxa c 2000). In this chapter I propose an analysis that is both morphological and semantic, in terms of semiotic intentionality. Depending on what the signer wants to express and how she wants to do it, she will use a more or less illustrative int ent and always reserve the possibility of going from one intent to another. I follow the model proposed by Cuxac (2000) for the analysis of signed languages, in particular for French Sign Language (LSF). The m odel gives a great deal of importance to iconic phenomena in signed languages. To justify the vast amount of iconicity present in signed languages, in contrast to he phenomena observed in spoken languages, Cuxac proposes a cognitive lingui stic explanation: there tends to be less iconicity in frozen signs 2 for reasons of linguistic economy (Frishberg 1975), on the contrary, iconicity is fully maintain ed for Highly Iconic Structures 3
