Sign in Sight: Step Into the Deaf World

Cath Smith

This is an accessible, easy to read overview of Deaf community and culture, that is essential to all those interested in learning sign language. It should be particularly useful to families and all those new to the subject. It is clearly explained and illustrated with sign vocabulary relevant to the topics such as communication modes, technological equipment and deaf schools and organisations. There is also a separate section which describes, with examples, some of the structures of British Sign Language (BSL) such as directional verbs, classifying handshapes and simultaneity. Explains the influences that have brought about the changing attitudes to sign language.
