  Abstract:  The Subordination in French Sign Language. The French sign language is a language in its own right with its own codes. When a Deaf person wants to transmit a message, they use different gestures and means they have at their disposal. We know they will deliver their communication in a well-defined space. They will see their thought as a director and an actor, being both actor and actant of their speech. A speech in the French sign language is constructed as follows: the time and place are presented – the scene is set –, then the characters or objects that will interact are described and finally the interaction is presented, that is to say the verbal element. By limiting our observation to the subject of subordination, we can already ask the question: how will a Deaf translate the concept of subordination, which is unique to our oral and Western languages and be understood?

Key words: subordination, French sign language, understanding, interaction, spoken language.
