Abstract:

The first textbook to bring together the linguistics of both BSL and
ASL, this accessible book provides a uniquely international and
comparative introduction to the structure and use of signed languages.
Presupposing no prior knowledge, it covers all levels of linguistic
structure: phonetics/phonology, morphology, the lexicon, syntax,
semantics and discourse. Photographic illustrations of BSL and ASL
signs feature throughout every chapter, and are linked to over 500
online videos, making this a clear and immersive resource for anyone
interested in sign language linguistics. End of chapter exercises,
questions for discussion and annotated further reading suggestions
allow students to fully engage with the material they have read, and
to extend their learning independently.

Written In: English (eng, stan1293)
