Originally published in 1988, this was the first book-length study
ever to be published on the subject of sign language as a means of
communication among Australian Aborigines. The work presented in
this book filled an important gap in Aboriginal ethnography and
linguistics. It also marked a major advance in the understanding of
the relationship between medium of expression, code structure and
communication; the processes by which spoken language may be
represented in a non-vocal medium; and native speaker awareness of
spoken language structure. Based on fieldwork conducted over a span
of nine years, the volume presents a thorough analysis of the
structure of sign languages and their relationship to spoken
languages.
