Books in the Sign Language Typology [SLT] series

Formational Units in Sign Languages

The book is a unique collection of research on sign languages that have emerged in rural communities with a high incidence of, often hereditary, deafness.

Editorial board: Sam Lutalo-Kiingi, Ronice Muller de Quadros, Roland Pfau, Adam Schembri, Gladys Tang, Erin Wilkinson, Jun Hui Yang The series is dedicated to the comparative study of sign languages around the world. Individual or collective works that systematically explore typological variation across sign languages are the focus of this series, with particular emphasis on undocumented, underdescribed and endangered sign languages. The scope of the series primarily includes cross-linguistic studies of grammatical domains across a larger or smaller sample of sign languages, but also encompasses the study of individual sign languages from a typological perspective and comparison between signed and spoken languages in terms of language modality, as well as theoretical and methodological contributions to sign language typology. A portion of the proceeds from the sales of each book in this series benefits the Deaf Empowerment Foundation (DEF).
