Abstract:

The uses and practices of sign languages are strongly related to scientific
research on sign languages and vice versa.  Conversely, sign linguistics
cannot be separated from Deaf community practices, including practices in
education and interpretation. Therefore, the current volume brings together
work on sign language interpreting, the use of spoken and sign language with
deaf children with cochlear implants and early language development in
children exposed to both a spoken and sign language, and reports on recent
research on aspects of sign language structure. It also includes papers
addressing methodological issues in sign language research.

The book presents papers by "more seasoned" researchers and "new kids on the
block", as well as papers in which the two collaborate. The contributions will
be of interest to all those interested in linguistics, sociolinguistics,
cultural studies, interpreting and education. It will have particular
relevance to those interested in sign linguistics, sociolinguistics of deaf
communities, Deaf studies, Deaf culture, sign language interpretation, sign
language teaching, and (spoken/signed) bilingualism. Given the scarcity of
literature on "Deaf studies", the book will also appeal widely beyond the
traditional academic milieu. As a result, it has relevance for those teaching
and learning sign languages, for professional and student interpreters and for
teachers of the deaf.
