Abstract:

As the first book of its kind, this volume with contributions from
many well known scholars brings together some of the most recent
original work on sign language acquisition in children learning a
variety of different signed languages (i.e., Brazilian Sign Language,
American SL, SL of the Netherlands, British SL, SL of Nicaragua, and
Italian SL). In addition, the volume addresses methodological and
theoretical issues in both sign language research and child language
development in general. The book includes both overview chapters
addressing matters of general concern in the study of sign language
acquisition and chapters related to more specific topics such as sign
language phonology, complex sentence structure and verb phrase
development. This book will be of interest to sign language
researchers, child language specialists and communication disorders
professionals alike. The material is presented in such a way that also
novices to the area of sign language study will find the text
accessible.
