A Pear Story - what sort of book to write

[Claudia S. Bianchini]

On my opinion
if we use a sentence in english
1) I sould translate it for my deaf colleagues and so my sentence will be
different from yours
2) (and more important) we risk to produce a SL that is very close to vocal
language
so, allways on my opinion, is better to have something that is VL-free, so
that we don't influence SL production
