Abstract:

Sign Language of the Netherlands (Nederlandse Gebarentaal, NGT) is a minority
language in the Netherlands, but has only recently gained legal recognition of
this status. It is estimated that 60,000 people in the Netherlands sign NGT,
of whom 10,000 are early onset deaf signers.

This book is the first comprehensive descriptive grammar of NGT. It offers a
detailed description of its phonology, morphology, and selected aspects of its
syntax. Whenever possible, the linguistic phenomena are illustrated by
naturalistic corpus data. The grammatical description is complemented by a
brief overview of the socio-historical background of NGT and of the Dutch sign
language community. 

The European SIGN-HUB project, of which this dissertation is a result, hosts a
platform where a digital version of this grammar can be found, along with
video fragments providing illustrations of many of the linguistic
characteristics addressed in the book.

This resource may be used for cross-linguistic research, for the development
of NGT acquisition materials, and as a reference work.
