EBOOK Advances in the Sign-Language Development of Deaf Children
Opis
Research on the characteristics of sign languages has blossomed in recent years. It not only improves services to deaf children, but also contributes to our understanding of language development, both spoken and signed. The contributors to this volume are leading scholars and researchers of the acquisition and development of sign languages. The authors provide cogent summaries of what is known about early gestural development, visual communication, and the processes of semantic, syntactic, and pragmatic development in sign.
