In addition, the volume addresses methodological and theoretical issues in both sign language research and child language development in general. The book includes both overview chapters addressing matters of general concern in the study of sign language acquisition and chapters related to more specific topics such as sign language phonology, complex sentence structure and verb phrase development. This book will be of interest to sign language researchers, child language specialists and communication disorders professionals alike. The material is presented in such a way that also novices to the area of sign language study will find the text accessible. 410 0$aTrends in language acquisition research ;$vv. 2. 606 $aSign language acquisition 606 $aSign language$xResearch 615 0$aSign language acquisition. 615 0$aSign language$xResearch. 676 $a419 701 $aMorgan$b Gary$f1968-$01097914 701 $aWoll$b B$g(Bencie)$0682979 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910975169603321 996 $aDirections in sign language acquisition$94344680 997 $aUNINA
