商品簡介
Mohr investigates whether the general dichotomy of mouth actions that has been established for other sign languages can be found in Irish Sign Language, and whether these mouth actions are used systematically. She also considers whether mouth actions fulfill specific linguistic functions, and if so, what the nature of these functions is. In addition, she tests the theory that voiceless words of the surrounding spoken language--"mouthings"--are found frequently in some sign languages with a strong oral tradition in education such as German Sign Language, but are absent or rare in others such as American Sign Language.
