 Catalan Sign Language is used in the autonomous community of Catalonia in Spain. The main variety is centred around Barcelona, where many influential schools, centres and clubs have been established((Altimira, B. G. (2015). //The Meaning of Space in Sign Language//: //Reference, Specificity and Structure in Catalan Sign Language Discourse//. De Gruyter Mouton. <[[https://doi.org/10.1515/9781614518815]]>)) ((Frigola, S. (2010). La comunidad sorda de Catalunya. In J. Martí i Castell & J. M. Mestres i Serra (Eds.), //Les llengües de signes com a llengües minoritàries: Perspectives lingüístiques, socials i polítiques: Actes del seminari del CUIMPB-CEL 2008// (pp. 29-54). Institut d’Estudis Catalans. <[[https://doi.org/10.2436/15.0100.01.25]]>)). There are four main dialectal areas: Eastern, Central, Coastal and Menorcan((Frigola, S. (2010). La comunidad sorda de Catalunya. In J. Martí i Castell & J. M. Mestres i Serra (Eds.), //Les llengües de signes com a llengües minoritàries: Perspectives lingüístiques, socials i polítiques: Actes del seminari del CUIMPB-CEL 2008// (pp. 29-54). Institut d’Estudis Catalans. <[[https://doi.org/10.2436/15.0100.01.25]]>)). The latter variety has emerged due to a a small number of signers of LSC on the Balearic island of Menorca, whereas on the neighboring islands of Mallorca and Ibiza (Eivissa), varieties of the Spanish Sign Language (LSE) are used((Quer, J. (2021). La llengua de signes catalana (LSC), llengua pròpia. //Llengua Nacional//, 114, 39-42. <[[https://raco.cat/index.php/LlenguaNacional/article/view/387107]]>)).
