Descripción
Sumario:The meaning of any linguistic expression resides not only in the words, but also in the ways that those words are conveyed. In her new study, the author highlights the crucial interrelatedness of form and meaning at all levels in order to consider specific types of American Sign Language (ASL) expression. In particular, this book considers how ASL expresses non-agent focus, similar to the meaning of passive voice in English.
