Title: Grammar, Gesture and Meaning in American Sign Language Author(s): Scott K. Liddell Pages: 400 Publisher: Cambridge University Press Publication date: 2003 Language: English Format: PDF ISBN-10: 0521016509 ISBN-13: Description: In the sign languages of the deaf some signs can meaningfully point toward things or can be meaningfully placed in the space ahead of the signer. Such spatial uses of signs are an obligatory part of fluent grammatical signing. There is no parallel for this in vocally produced languages. This book focuses on American Sign Language to examine the grammatical and conceptual purposes served by these directional signs and demonstrates a remarkable integration of grammar and gesture in the service of constructing meaning.
