This paper aims to analyze the creation of concrete nominal signs in Peruvian Sign Language (LSP, for its initials in Spanish). To do this, we have mainly collected data available online. Within the framework of cognitive linguistics, we propose a classification for the metonymic construction of concrete nouns in this signed language. As we propose, Peruvian Deaf people use either static or dynamic aspects or both combined in the creation of these signs. Based on these considerations, we establish metonymies and metonymic variants as part of the classification as an explanatory framework of LSP.
