Language
From The Midwest Book Review Written by the team of Clayton Valli, Ceil Lucas (Professor of Linguistics in the department of Linguistics at Gallaudet University), and Kristin J. Mulrooney (Assistant Professor of Linguistics in the Department of Linguistics at Gallaudet University), Linguistics of American sign Language is an in-depth reference and resource for intermediate to expert linguistic students, scholars and professionals, now in an updated fourth edition with an accompanying course DVD. The fourth edition of Linguistics of American Sign Language features an entirely revised section on morphology and syntax, the latest research on main categories of verbs in ASL, insight into artistic forms of ASL such as singing, drama, and poetry, 18 new and updated readings, and new suggested homework assignments based on the DVD, and much more. The first half of the text focuses on the nuts-and-bolts grammar and dissection of ASL; the second half is devoted to supplemental readings by a variety of learned authors, discussing nuances of ASL and its usage, variations in linguistic structure, sub-communities of the deaf such as the black deaf community, and much more. Simple black-and-white diagrams illustrate this definitive linguistic compendium and college-level education and consultation reference. Clayton Valli was Assistant Professor in the Master’s Interpreting Program at Gallaudet University. Ceil Lucas is Professor of Linguistics in the Department of Linguistics at Gallaudet University.
