The major goals are to bring to light critical issues related to the study of classifier constructions and to present state-of-the-art linguistic and psycholinguistic analyses of these constructions. It is hoped that by doing so, more researchers will be inspired to investigate the nature of classifier constructions across signed languages and further explore the unique aspects of these forms. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe papers in this volume discuss the following issues: \u003cbr\u003e*how sign language classifiers differ from spoken languages; \u003cbr\u003e*cross-linguistic variation in sign language classifier systems; \u003cbr\u003e*the role of gesture; \u003cbr\u003e*the nature of morpho-syntactic and phonological constraints on classifier constructions; \u003cbr\u003e*the grammaticization process for these forms; and \u003cbr\u003e*the acquisition of classifier forms. \u003cbr\u003eDivided into four parts, groups of papers focus on a particular set of issues, and commentary papers end each section.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Karen Emmorey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0805842691\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780805842692\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\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.52h x 7.18w x 0.95d","brand":"Karen Emmorey","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086888546559,"sku":"9780805842692","price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_eb4306af-b9ea-4aa4-ba93-c6aa856084a3.jpg?v=1769097155","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/perspectives-on-classifier-constructions-in-karen-emmorey-9780805842692","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
