Sumario:In this article I study the anthroponyms, called sign names, of the Argentine Sign Language (LSA). My main objective is to identify and systematize the creation processes used to originate this type of signs. For this, I use a theoretical-methodological design composed of the Cognitive Linguistic approach (Langacker 1987 y 1991, Hopper 1988, Lakoff y Johnson 1995 [1980], Borzi 2012) and the Deaf community ethnography (Massone et al. 2012). From a qualitative and quantitative analysis of a corpus of 120 sign names collected for this purpose, I intend to demonstrate the productivity of the conceptual metonymic mechanism as a way to create name signs and the presence of motivation in this type of sign.
