This volume elucidates several key factors of the signed languages
used in select international Deaf communities. Kristin Mulrooney
studies ASL users to delve into the reasons behind the perceived
differences in how men and women fingerspell. Bruce Sofinski
assesses the current state of transliteration from spoken English
to manually coded English, disclosing that competent
transliterators do not necessarily produce the desired
word-for-sign exchange. In the third chapter, Paul Dudis comments
upon a remarkable aspect of discourse in ASL-grounded blends. He
discusses how signers map particular concepts onto their hands and
bodies, which allows them to enrich their narrative strategies. By
observing meetings of deaf and nonsigning hearing people in the
Flemish Deaf community, Mieke Van Herreweghe determines whether
interpreters' turn-taking practices allow for equal participation.
And the final chapter features a respected team of Spanish
researchers led by Esperanza Morales-Lopez who investigate the
Catalan/Spanish bilingual community in Barcelona. These scholars
measure the influence of recent worldwide, Deaf sociopolitical
movements advocating signed languages on deaf groups already
familiar with bilingual education.
