5.0 out of 5 stars Linguistics of American Sign Language, May 15, 2002

By A Customer

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!
