With a lively narration of Roderick Hunt's stories and the animation and sound effects of Alex Brychta's page-by-page illustrations these are an absolute must for every classroom. Each word of the story can be highlighted as it is spoken, to consolidate the link between spoken and written text.
Sign language linguists show here that all questions relevant to the linguistic investigation of spoken languages can be asked about sign languages. Conversely, questions that sign language linguists consider - even if spoken language researchers have not asked them yet - should also be asked of spoken languages. The HSK handbook Sign Language aims to provide a concise and comprehensive overview of the state of the art in sign language linguistics.
Crucially, all topics are presented in a way that makes them accessible to linguists who are not familiar with sign language linguistics.
As a result of globalization, higher education institutions throughout the world are adopting English for parts of their education.

It provides useful insights into how communicative effectiveness can be achieved in spoken lingua franca communication.
