A Family-Centered Signed Language Curriculum to Support Deaf Children's Language Acquisition
Deaf children experience language deprivation at alarmingly high rates. One contributing factor is that most are born to non-signing hearing parents who face insurmountable barriers to learning a signed language. This Element presents a case for developing signed language curricula for hearing families with deaf children that are family-centered and focus on child-directed language. Core vocabulary, functional sentences, and facilitative language techniques centered around common daily routines allow families to apply what they learn immediately. Additionally, Deaf Community Cultural Wealth (DCCW) lessons build families' capacity to navigate the new terrain of raising a deaf child. If early intervention programs serving the families of young deaf children incorporate this type of curriculum into their service delivery, survey data suggest that it is both effective and approachable for this target population, so the rates of language deprivation may decline.
American Sign Language at Home
American Sign Language at Home: A Family Curriculum (ASL at Home) is an innovative, family-centered curriculum designed for families with young deaf children and the professionals who support them. Each chapter of ASL at Home centers around a daily routine common to young children. The curriculum is geared toward families of children birth to five years of age, but families with older children can also use it to learn! Families can learn on their own or with the guidance of the professionals who support them, including but not limited to Speech-Language Pathologists, Deaf Mentors and Coaches, Teachers of the Deaf, ASL Specialists, and other service providers.
Creative Sign Language
This Element describes creative sign language in deaf literature. To showcase the exciting developments in Latin American deaf literature it focuses upon creative Libras as it is used by the Brazilian deaf community, emphasising aspects of Libras literature seen in similar productions and performances in sign language literatures around the world.
Rhyme over Reason
Ideal for scholars and students of linguistics, discourse, stylistics and language play, this book explores the role of phonological motivation - sound symbolism and rhyme/alliteration - in English word-formation.

Sign Multilingualism
This volume has arisen from a three-part, five-year study on language contact among multilingual sign language users, which has three strands: cross-signing, sign-switching, and sign-speaking. These phenomena are only sparsely documented so far, and thus the volume is highly innovative and presents data and analyses not previously available.
Linguistic Coping Strategies in Sign Language Interpreting
This ground-breaking work, originally published 15 years ago, continues to serve as the primary reference on the theories of omission potential and translational contact in sign language interpreting. In the book, noted scholar Jemina Napier explores the linguistic coping strategies of interpreters by drawing on her own study of the interpretation of a university lecture from English into Australian Sign Language (Auslan). A new preface by the author provides perspective on the importance of the work and how it fits within the scholarship of interpretation studies. The concept of strategic omissions is explored here as a tool that is consciously used by interpreters as a coping strategy. Ins...
