Sign Language Lingustics by Howard Burton
This book is based on an in-depth conversation with Carol Padden, the Sanford I. Berman Chair in Language and Human Communication at UC San Diego. This conversation provides a detailed exploration of Carol Padden's areas of research, starting with her personal experiences of growing up with American Sign Language, deaf culture, her early work with Bill Stokoe, the linguistic complexity, structure and properties of ASL and other sign languages, the role of gesture and embodiment, and the ways in which language forms are created, propagated, and conventionalized in natural environments throughout the world.
