I'm an ITP student, and this is the textbook for our linguistics class. It's great. Don't expect to learn any sign from it though, this book assumes you already have a beginning level vocabulary. The book starts out with an introduction to Language and linguistics and progressively gets more difficult it it's exploration of ASL structure. Basically this book informs you as to why you do the things you do while signing. A must read!

This explains all of the hows and whys of ASL. This book hit on challenging topics like morphology. The passages and lessons were interesting.

the book came in great timing and had the marks and everything that were in the description! It was a great price for the book and the seller was awesome about description and timeliness.

This is definitly the best book I've ever read, just because the fact that I love this language and everything about it. I am hearing but I want to deaf and all I have are deaf friends. I think hearing people are deaf bashers and need to learn more. This book gave me even more understanding about the linguestics of ASL!!
