Language policy and planning for sign languages

About this book

The 16th volume in the Sociolinguistics in Deaf Communities Series addresses the burgeoning need for language policy and language planning for the sign languages used by deaf people. Author Timothy Regan writes for two audiences in his new book, those who know language policy and planning but not the deaf world, and those well-versed in the deaf cultural community but unfamiliar with language planning issues.--[book cover].
