No extensive research has been done on the extent of variation between men’s and women’s varieties of JSL but there seems to be a small amount of lexical and syntactic variation. For example, the sign MENSTRUATION has a sign that is known to all, but female signers use other signs to describe the menstrual cycle they are experiencing. The average male signer is aware these signs exist but does not know what these signs are. In terms of syntactic variation, a study of possession marking in JSL113 showed that women mark possession by juxtaposing the possessor and the possessee. Men use that strategy in addition to one in the form exemplified in (1).
