Linguistics of American Sign Language, 5th Ed.: An Introduction

I had to buy this book for class, it is very helpful. It breaks down the linguistics of American Sign Language and its uses. It proves that A.S.L. Is a real language with its own syntax. After reading this book you won't look at Sign Language the same.

The text is clearly organized and concisely written. Both text and accompanying DVD best benefit ASL students of level III or higher. The material contains practical and applicable exercises for each unit, supplemental readings with examples that reinforce information presented in the core parts, and solid references. A glossary is not part of the text, so take time to log vocabulary while reading.ISBN-13: 978-1563685071 andISBN-10: 1563685078 Linguistics of American Sign Language, 5th Ed.: An Introduction

Thought this book was supposed to come with a DVD (because of the title). I almost gave a bad review until I looked at the back cover. The book came super fast & in great condition

NOT A BEGINNER BOOK! If you're just starting ASL, don't buy this. Great guide for in-depth analysis.

The book was so much more than I expected! I had hoped for a good text on grammar, but this book also looks at the subtle nuances of ASL, and at the customs and etiquette of its use. Strongly recommended for anyone who wants to learn the rudiments of this language or become proficient.

Amazing book that makes linguistics of ASL clear for those with no linguistics background! Really a great book for those learning about Deaf Cultures

I like this book and my friend was telling me about it. I love it and will able to use it some for my class that I am teaching. Thank you.

Very helpful but part of the book is pretty difficult.
