According to Liddell (2003), list buoys are generally used when the signer wants to refer to more than one referent in sequence. Heitkoetter and Xavier (2020, 2021) carried out a detailed study of listing buoys on Libras, based on data collected from YouTube videos of two deaf signers from Paraná, a man and a woman. With these studies, the authors show that such constructions can be of different types, namely, fixed, sequential and mixed with or without perseveration. This work, an excerpt from Heitkoetter (2024), whose general objective was to present an in-depth analysis of previous analyses, specifically reports the results obtained in relation to the extension (number of items) and perseveration (quantity and number of hands of the signs employed to elaborate the listed items and duration) of the listing buoys. The results obtained show variation per subject in both aspects analyzed. Regarding the length of the list, we observed that, among the fixed buoys, lists of three (men) and four (women) items predominate; among the sequential ones, two (man) and three (woman) items. As far as duration is concerned, even though we have confirmed that, for both, the listing buoys without perseveration, as expected, last longer, only for women this difference was substantial.
