These sign languages represent the latest addition to the comparative investigation of languages in the gestural modality, and the book is the first compilation of a substantial number of different "village sign languages". Written by leading experts in the field, the volume uniquely combines anthropological and linguistic insights, looking at both the social dynamics and the linguistic structures in these village communities. The book includes primary data from eleven different signing communities across the world, including results from Jamaica, India, Turkey, Thailand, and Bali. All known village sign languages are endangered, usually because of pressure from larger urban sign languages, and some have died out already. Ironically, it is often the success of the larger sign language communities in urban centres, their recognition and subsequent spread, which leads to the endangerment of these small minority sign languages. The book addresses this specific type of language endangerment, documentation strategies, and other ethical issues pertaining to these sign languages on the basis of first-hand experiences by Deaf fieldworkers. 410 0$aSign Language Typology [SLT] 606 $aSign language$vCross-cultural studies 606 $aDeaf$xMeans of communication$vCross-cultural studies 610 $aEndangered Languages and Fieldwork. 610 $aLanguage Typology. 610 $aSign Language. 610 $aVisual Communication. 615 0$aSign language 615 0$aDeaf$xMeans of communication 676 $a419 686 $aES 175$2rvk 700 $aZeshan$b Ulrike$4edt$0865952 701 $aZeshan$b Ulrike$0865952 701 $aVos$b Connie de$0865953 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996309076903316 996 $aSign languages in village communities$91932533 997 $aUNISA
