[Linganth] new book

[E. Mara Green]

Dear Colleagues,



I am very excited to share with you that my book, *Making Sense: Language,
Ethics, and Understanding in Deaf Nepal*, is out in the world! I am sharing
the news here both because I hope it may be of interest (and I would love
to know your thoughts!) and because I am grateful to multiple people on
this list for the ways their publications and our conversations have shaped
my work.



*Making Sense *is based on fieldwork with both deaf Nepali Sign Language
(NSL) signers and users of what they call *natural sign* – a less
conventionalized mode of signing that brings into focus the ways in which
emergent language is fundamentally and simultaneously a semiotic *and* an
ethical endeavor - and thus how engaging in mutual sense-making beyond
conventional language is both possible and precarious.



It is available in print (
https://www.ucpress.edu/book/9780520399235/making-sense) and also via Open
Access (https://luminosoa.org/site/books/m/10.1525/luminos.193/).



Warmly and with thanks,

Mara


(with apologies for cross-posting)
