This groundbreaking collection is the first volume to provide answers to these questions. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Editors Rachel Rosenstock and Jemina Napier have assembled an international group of renowned linguists and interpreters to examine various aspects of International Sign. Their contributions are divided into three parts: International Sign as a Linguistic System; International Sign in Action--Interpreting, Translation, and Teaching; and International Sign Policy and Language Planning. The chapters cover a range of topics, including the morphosyntactic and discursive structures of interpreted IS, the interplay between conventional linguistic elements and nonconventional gestural elements in IS discourse, how deaf signers who use different signed languages establish communication, Deaf\/hearing IS interpreting teams and how they sign depicting verbs, how best to teach foundation-level IS skills, strategies used by IS interpreters when interpreting from IS into English, and explorations of the best ways to prepare interpreters for international events. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The work of the editors and contributors in this volume makes \u003ci\u003eInternational Sign\u003c\/i\u003e the most comprehensive, research-based analysis of a young but growing field in linguistics and interpretation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rachel Rosenstock\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1563686562\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781563686566\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Gallaudet University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/15\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2016","brand":"Rachel Rosenstock","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43939651518719,"sku":"9781563686566","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_6a6982c9-7d1f-4056-bd1b-ecaa94b95b38.jpg?v=1681442728","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/international-sign-rachel-rosenstock-9781563686566","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
