Abstract:

Imagine a child who has never seen or heard any language at all.
Would such a child be able to invent a language on her own?  Despite
what one might guess, the children described in this book make it
clear that the answer to this question is "yes".

The properties of language that we find in deaf children's gestures
are just those properties that do not need to be handed down from
generation to generation, but can be reinvented by a child de novo --
the resilient properties of language. This book suggests that all
children, deaf or hearing, come to language-learning ready to develop
precisely these language properties.
