Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the subject of sign language, differentiating between sign language and natural actions and gestures that are used in conjunction with spoken language. The author highlights the controversy surrounding the use of the De l'Epee Sign Language in deaf education, discussing both its advantages and disadvantages. The author argues that natural actions and gestures should be used in conjunction with words, rather than independently, and that the ultimate goal should be to teach English without the use of signs. The book also delves into the historical context of sign language, its role in deaf education, and the ongoing debate regarding its utility and necessity. By examining this complex subject from multiple perspectives, the author provides a comprehensive and thought-provoking exploration of the role of language and communication.
