*3.3. Movement*

Next, we turn to movement feature encoding, where we predicted both languages to show a preference for simultaneous encoding of manner and path for the reasons outlined in Section 1.1.3. Figure 11 shows the proportion of movement encoding strategies across the two groups, demonstrating that in both languages, signers overwhelmingly preferred the simultaneous strategy: 80% of Cena tokens encoded movement manner and path simultaneously, compared to 94% in Libras.
