Sinossi
Excerpt from Introduction to the Study of Sign Language Among the North American Indians
Sign-language, being the mother utterance of nature, poetically styled by lamartine the Visible attitudes of the soul, is superior to all others in that it permits every one to find in nature an image-to express his. Thoughts on the most needful matters intelligently to any other person, though it must ever henceforth be inferior in the power of formulating thoughts now attained by words, notwithstanding the boast of Roscius that he could convey more varieties of sentiment by gesture alone than Cicero could in oratory.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of sign language among North American Indians. The author meticulously examines the history, use, and significance of this unique form of communication, placing it within the broader context of human communication and its evolution. Exploring the origins of gesture-speech, the author contrasts the development of sign language with the evolution of spoken language. Throughout the book, the author delves into the argument that sign language is not merely a set of arbitrary signals, but a sophisticated system with underlying principles capable of expressing complex ideas. The author even suggests that it might offer insight into the origins of spoken language and how it may have developed from gestures. The book sheds light on the rich and varied forms of sign language across different Native American tribes, dispelling the misconception of a single, universal sign language. Through a comparative study of signs from diverse tribes, the author demonstrates the nuanced differences in both conceptualization and execution, revealing the dynamic nature of gesture-speech. This book offers a valuable glimpse into the intricacies of Native American culture and its unique mode of communication, providing a compelling exploration of a vital aspect of human expression.
