The use of the specificities related to the visuo-gesual modality of SL, such as the use of the signing space and the simultaneous articulation of multiple channels allows the signer to express structures in a more illustrative way. The description of this structure goes beyond the linear linguistic organization initially applied to describe spoken languages. In this paper, we are interested in modeling structures that rely on the signing space to designate the location of one object relative to another. We are particularly interested in the study of location of one place in relation to another one in French Sign Language (LSF). After a presentation of the corpus and the methodology followed to analyze it, we present the study carried out as well as the results obtained.
