<i>Making Sense</i> explores the experiential, ethical, and intellectual
 stakes of living in, and thinking with, worlds wherein language cannot 
be taken for granted. In Nepal, many deaf signers use Nepali Sign 
Language (NSL), a young, conventional signed language. The majority of 
deaf Nepalis, however, use what NSL signers call <i>natural sign</i>. 
Natural sign involves conventional and improvisatory signs, many of 
which recruit semiotic relations immanent in the social and material 
world. These features make conversation in natural sign both possible 
and precarious. Sense-making in natural sign depends on signers' 
skillful use of resources and on addressees' willingness to engage. 
Natural sign reveals the labor of sense-making that in more conventional
 language is carried by shared grammar. Ultimately, this highly original
 book shows that emergent language is an ethical endeavor, challenging 
readers to consider what it means, and what it takes, to understand and 
to be understood.
