The evolution of sign bilingualism at the individual level is discussed from a developmental linguistics perspective on the basis of a longitudinal investigation of deaf learners' bilingual acquisition of German sign language (DGS) and German. The case studies included in this volume offer unique insights into bilingual deaf learners? sign language and written language productions, and the sophisticated nature of the bilingual competence they attain. Commonalities and differences between sign bilingual language development in deaf learners and language development in other language acquisition scenarios are identified on the basis of a dynamic model of change in the evolution of (learner) language, with a focus on the role of language contact in the organisation of multilingual knowledge and the scope of inter- and intra-individual variation in learner grammars. In many respects, as becomes apparent throughout the chapters of this work, sign bilingualism represents not only a challenge but also a resource. Given this cross-disciplinary perspective, the insights on bilingualism and deafness in this volume will be of interest to a wide range of researchers and professionals. 410 0$aSign languages and deaf communities ;$v7. 606 $aSign language acquisition 606 $aOral communication 606 $aBilingualism 606 $aLanguages in contact 606 $aDeaf children$xLanguage 606 $aDeaf$xEducation 610 $aBilingualism. 610 $aSign Language. 615 0$aSign language acquisition. 615 0$aOral communication. 615 0$aBilingualism. 615 0$aLanguages in contact. 615 0$aDeaf children$xLanguage. 615 0$aDeaf$xEducation. 676 $a400 686 $aES 175$2rvk 700 $aPlaza Pust$b Carolina$0167940 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996398649403316 996 $aBilingualism and deafness$92028876 997 $aUNISA
