Multilingualism, Multiprocesses, Multidevelopment, and Multicontexts in Sign Language Production

Abstract

Reviews the book, Multilingualism, Multiprocesses, Multidevelopment, and Multicontexts in Sign Language Production edited by D. Quinto-Pozos (2015). This book discusses the different contexts of signers language. It considers 'multi' language experiences of deaf and hearing signers of various ages, and those growing up with sign language impairment, sign language disorders, deaf autism, dementia and those living in bimodal bilingual contexts. This book brings together studies of cases that impact language processing. This book is interdisciplinary with linguists, psychologists, and psychiatrists discussing the multi phenomena observed in the different cases in which sign language plays a role. This book also considers hearing children who grow up with deaf parents and acquire signed and spoken language. In this special context, sign and speech can be articulated simultaneously. This is a valuable resource for researchers in sign language and Deaf education, bringing a precious combination of research on different sign language impairment studies in 'multi' contexts, considering comprehension and production.
