This handbook provides information on some 38 sign languages, including basic facts about each of the languages, structural aspects, history and culture of the Deaf communities, and history of research. This information will be of interest not just to general audiences, including those who are deaf, but also to linguists and students of linguistics. By providing information on sign languages in a manner accessible to a less specialist audience, this volume fills an important gap in the literature. 410 0$aDe Gruyter Handbuch. 606 $aSign language$vCross-cultural studies 606 $aDeaf people$xMeans of communication$vCross-cultural studies 606 $aComparative linguistics 606 $aArandic language C48$2aiatsisl 615 0$aSign language 615 0$aDeaf people$xMeans of communication 615 0$aComparative linguistics. 615 7$aArandic language C48 676 $a419 702 $aJepsen$b Julie Bakken 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910658707403321 996 $aSign languages of the world$91900080 997 $aUNINA
