The burgeoning of research on signed language during the last two
decades has had a major influence on several disciplines concerned
with mind and language, including linguistics, neuroscience,
cognitive psychology, child language acquisition, sociolinguistics,
bilingualism, and deaf education. The genealogy of this research
can be traced to a remarkable degree to a single pair of scholars,
Ursula Bellugi and Edward Klima, who have conducted their research
on signed language and educated scores of scholars in the field
since the early 1970s. The Signs of Language Revisited has three
major objectives: * presenting the latest findings and theories of
leading scientists in numerous specialties from language
acquisition in children to literacy and deaf people; * taking stock
of the distance scholarship has come in a given field, where we are
now, and where we should be headed; and * acknowledging and
articulating the intellectual debt of the authors to Bellugi and
Klima--in some cases through personal reminiscences. Thus, this
book is also a document in the sociology and history of science.
