A concise overview of key findings and ideas in sign language
phonology and its contributions to related fields, including
historical linguistics, morphology, prosody, language acquisition
and language creation. Working on sign languages not only provides
important new insights on familiar issues, but also poses a whole
new set of questions about phonology, because of the use of the
visual communication modality. This book lays out the properties
needed to recognize a phonological system regardless of its
modality. Written by a leading expert in sign language research,
the book describes the current state of the field and addresses a
range of issues that students and researchers will encounter in
their work, as well as highlighting the significant impact that the
study of sign languages has had on the field of phonology as a
whole. It includes lists of further reading materials, and a full
glossary, as well as helpful illustrations that demonstrate the
important aspects of sign language structure, even to the most
unfamiliar of readers. A text that will be useful to both
specialists and general linguists, this book provides the first
comprehension overview of the field.
