{"product_id":"foreign-vocabulary-in-sign-languages-diane-brentari-9780805832082","title":"Foreign Vocabulary in Sign Languages: A Cross-Linguistic Investigation of Word Formation","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book takes a close look at the ways that five sign languages borrow elements from the surrounding, dominant spoken language community where each is situated. It offers careful analyses of semantic, morphosyntactic, and phonological adaption of forms taken from a source language (in this case a spoken language) to a recipient signed language. In addition, the contributions contained in the volume examine the social attitudes and cultural values that play a role in this linguistic process. Since the cultural identity of Deaf communities is manifested most strongly in their sign languages, this topic is of interest for cultural and linguistic reasons. Linguists interested in phonology, morphology, word formation, bilingualism, and linguistic anthropology will find this an interesting set of cases of language contact. Interpreters and sign language teachers will also find a wealth of interesting facts about the sign languages of these diverse Deaf communities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Diane Brentari\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0805832084\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780805832082\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Psychology Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 206\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.28h x 6.12w x 0.74d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2001 pg. 139","brand":"Diane Brentari","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086883041535,"sku":"9780805832082","price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c135eb7d-9446-444e-882f-eecbbc6d040c.jpg?v=1769097122","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/foreign-vocabulary-in-sign-languages-diane-brentari-9780805832082","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
