The syntax of American Sign Language
The syntax of American Sign Language
Carol Jan Neidle, Judy Kegl, Dawn MacLaughlin, Benjamin Bahan, Robert G. Lee
About this book
"Recent research on the syntax of signed languages has revealed that, apart from some modality-specific differences, signed languages are organized according to the same underlying principles as spoken languages. This book addresses the organization and distribution of functional categories in American Sign Language (ASL), focusing on tense, agreement, and wh-constructions."--BOOK JACKET.
