Conclusion --$tAppendix --$tNotes --$tReferences --$tIndex 330 $aBringing together the research fields of sign language linguistics and information structure, this book focuses on the realization of modal particles and focus particles in three European sign languages: German Sign Language, Sign Language of the Netherlands, and Irish Sign Language. As a cross-linguistic investigation based on a systematic methodological approach, the study analyzes the results particularly with regard to nonmanual features expressed by articulators such as the body, head, and face. The analyses of the data provide interesting insights into the syntax-prosody interface in sign languages and the interaction of syntax and prosody in general. Modal and focus particles have not been thoroughly investigated in sign languages. This volume presents the first study on this phenomenon and is thus an innovative contribution to the field. From a methodological and theoretical perspective, it draws on up-to-date linguistic tools and provides professionally elicited and annotated data. The book accounts for the results within existing theoretical models. Given its specific focus on nonmanuals, the book contributes to recent debates on information structure and the syntax-prosody interface and will be of special interest to both sign and spoken language linguists. 410 0$aSign Languages and Deaf Communities [SLDC] 606 $aSign language 606 $aLanguage and languages 606 $aLinguistics 610 $aLanguage Typology. 610 $aProsody. 610 $aSign Language. 610 $aSyntax. 615 0$aSign language. 615 0$aLanguage and languages. 615 0$aLinguistics. 676 $a400 700 $aHerrmann$b Annika$0944463 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996309072303316 996 $aModal and focus particles in sign languages$92132002 997 $aUNISA LEADER 01811nam 2200433 a 450 001 9910700805303321 005 20110825114955.0 035 $a(CKB)5470000002412969 035 $a(OCoLC)747823276 035 $a(EXLCZ)995470000002412969 100 $a20110825d2011 ua 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurmn||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aOperational contract support$b[electronic resource] $eactions needed to address contract oversight and vetting of non-U.S. vendors in Afghanistan : testimony before the Subcommittee on Contracting Oversight, Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, U.S. Senate /$fstatement of William M.
