jazyk glukhikh

[Christopher A. Tessone]

Dear SEELANGers,

Have any of you had any exposure to Russian sign language, or know
colleagues who have dealt with it?

I've made several attempts, both here in the States, and when I studied
in Russia, to make contacts with "speakers" of the language, and to
find materials.  I've not met with much luck -- I could have taken a
course in Krasnodar, but didn't have the time, and the only book I've
found  is "Govorjashchie ruki" by M.N. Fradkina.  I don't know whether
this textbook is even usable, and would appreciate hearing others'
experiences with this or other texts.  Also, I can't seem to find
anywhere to buy it anymore.

Unfortunately, I've not found Google terribly helpful -- I did find
deafnet.ru, and I'm looking through that, but I would also like to make
contacts especially with Americans who have done work in this area.

Thanks!

Chris
