Sommario/riassunto

"The Routledge Handbook of Theoretical and Experimental Sign Language Research bridges the divide between theoretical and experimental approaches to provide an up-to-date survey of key topics in sign language research. With 29 chapters written by leading scholars from around the world, this Handbook covers the following key areas:  On the theoretical side, all crucial aspects of sign language grammar studied within formal frameworks such as Generative Grammar; On the experimental side, theoretical accounts are supplemented by experimental evidence gained in psycho- and neurolinguistic studies. Each chapter features an introduction, an overview of the existing research based on the existing literature and includes a critical assessment of hypotheses and findings. The Routledge Handbook of Theoretical and Experimental Sign Language Research will be essential reading for all advanced students and researchers working in the field of sign language research, linguistics, psycholinguistics and neurolinguistics"--
