Even a young sign language emerging within a family of deaf individuals has been found to mark the noun-verb distinction, and to use handshape type to do so. Here we ask whether handshape type is used to mark the noun-verb distinction in a gesture system invented by a deaf child who does not have access to a usable model of either spoken or signed language. The child produces homesigns that have linguistic structure, but receives from his hearing parents co-speech gestures that are structured differently fBenjamins current topics ;Volume 70.Speech and gestureStudy and teachingSign languageStudy and teachingGesturePsychological aspectsGrammar, Comparative and generalNounGrammar, Comparative and generalNoun phraseInterpersonal communicationPsychological aspectsAnthropological linguisticsSpeech and gestureStudy and teaching.Sign languageStudy and teaching.GesturePsychological aspects.Grammar, Comparative and generalNoun.Grammar, Comparative and generalNoun phrase.Interpersonal communicationPsychological aspects.Anthropological linguistics.419 |2 23Haviland John BeardMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910797136203321Where do nouns come from3863293UNINA
