Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Schein and Stewart, both well-respected authorities in the field, manage to capture the essence, beauty, and practicality of sign language. In this work, they stress that sign is not only a communication tool but a vibrant way of life. The authors have included a complete range of topics revolving around sign, including history, structure, economics, the deaf community, and manual alphabets from other countries. The work is comprehensive, well documented, and organized in such a manner as to include references, table of contents, and numerous illustrations for clarity; as such, it complements rather than replaces sign language dictionaries. Facts and anecdotes are highlighted throughout the text in bordered boxes. Each chapter can be read independently and enjoyed on various levels of understanding, regardless of one's signing skill or comprehension.

Comprehensive overview of Sign Language and those who use it,
By A Customer
This review is from: Language in Motion (Hardcover)
Language in Motion presents a great overview of American Sign Language history, structure and its role as the mode of communication between deaf people. This book is easy to read and presents concepts clearly, in an orderly fashion. I recommend this book for those who need an introduction to the unique world of sign or those that need an concise guide to ASL and its culture. The authors also address the role of ASL in society today.
