Two New Linguistics Titles Examine American Sign Language

[GU Press]

Dear DISCOURS subscribers,

I thought you might be interested in two new titles on American Sign Language linguistics recently published by Gallaudet University Press:  the revised and updated third edition of "Linguistics of American Sign Language," edited by Clayton Valli and Ceil Lucas, and "Metaphor in American Sign Language," by Phyllis Perrin Wilcox.  DISCOURS subscribers are currently eligible for a 20% discount on both of these books.

The third edition of "Linguistics of American Sign Language" improves upon what is already the definitive text in its field.  Valli and Lucas include all the fundamental classroom assignments and readings, and add to them new research on space in ASL, variation in ASL, and ASL art forms such as poetry, drama, and percussive signing.

In "Metaphor in American Sign Language" Phyllis Perrin Wilcox tackles a subject that has eluded researchers for years.  By separating metaphor from "the shroud of iconicity," Wilcox reveals the unrecognized cultural dimensions of American Sign Language metaphors.

Again, Gallaudet University Press is happy to offer DISCOURS subscribers a 20% discount on both of these titles.  You can copy and paste the link below into the address bar of your web browser and learn more about the books.

Best wishes,
Dave Gunton
