ABOUT THIS BOOK
The second international conference on sign language research, hosted by Gallaudet University, yielded critical findings in vital linguistic disciplines — phonology, morphology, syntax, sociolinguistics, language acquisition and psycholinguistics. Sign Language Research brings together in a fully synthesized volume the work of 24 of the researchers invited to this important gathering. Scholars from Belgium to India, from Finland to Uganda, and from Japan to the United States, exchanged the latest developments in sign language research worldwide. Now, the results of their findings are in this comprehensive volume complete with illustrations and photographs.
AUTHOR BIOGRAPHY
Ceil Lucas is Professor Emerita of Linguistics at Gallaudet University.
