The Study of Signed Languages: Essays in Honor of William C. Stokoe
Sign Language Structure: An Outline of the Visual Communication Systems of the American Deaf
It is approaching a half century since Bill Stokoe published his revolutionary monograph, Sign Language Structure: An Outline of the Visual Communication Systems of the American Deaf It is rare for a work of innovative scholarship to spark a social as well as an intellectual revolution, but that is just what Stokoe's 1960 paper did. And it is indicative both of Stokoe's genius and of his commitment that he did not simply publish his groundbreakin…
Sentences Before Words: Seeing Before Hearing
Language had to begin with gestures. Language would have happened when a community of hominids about to be human took a new look at the gestures that they and other hominoids had been making for millions of years. All at once-the moment they saw that these gestures represented more than their usual meanings, like "gimme food" or "come closer"-language began
Gesture and the Nature of Language
Seeing Language in Sign: The Work of William C. Stokoe
In 1955 William C. Stokoe arrived at Gallaudet College (later Gallaudet University) to teach English where he was first exposed to deaf people signing. While most of his colleagues dismissed signing as mere mimicry of speech, Stokoe saw in it elements of a distinctive language all its own.Seeing Language in Signtraces the process that Stokoe followed to prove scientifically and unequivocally that American Sign Language (ASL) met the full criteria…

Sign Language Structure
The designation has been used for a wide variety of semi otic systems ranging from the expression of emotions in men and animals (24) to the transmission and reception of genuinely linguistic structures. Sign language is a misnomer, however, when such structures result from spoken language processing up to the point where gestured signs replace the vocal output. The kind of sign language research reviewed here contem plates human cultural systems…
Language, Communication, Chimpanzees [and Comments and Reply]
In the last ten years, entirely new experiments have been undertaken in the field of animal communication. The works of Allen and Beatrice Gardner with the chimpanzee Washoe and David and Ann Premack with Sarah should have held the attention of linguists and semiologists more than they have up to now. It is from this standpoint that they are examined here
