AB  - "Part I, Understanding structure, selects some current linguistic principles which govern visual languages basd on research from two highly-studied sign languages: American Sign Language and British Sign Language. The purpose of Part I is to introduce the reader to sign linguistic principles and make a preliminary demonstration of whether these hold true signs used in the Filipino deaf community. The key areas of structural linguistics covered in this part are: phonology (The internal structure of sings), morphology (Meaning in the structure of sings), discourse analysis (The structure of sings during conversation), and language change (Structure and language contract; change in structure over time). Part II, Traditional and emerging signs, contrasts sings in use in the Filipino Deaf community for at least twenty years (traditional signs), as opposed to more recent sings in the past five years (emerging sings). The images in this Part showing general orientation of the hands to the torso, as well as the specific handscapes, are intended for the reader who may wish to use them as learning dictionary. Part III, Current issues, examines sociolinguistic implications of the existence, and, standardization issues in language policy and planning. Challenges in education, interpreting, and sign language instruction are also covered."--Series preface.
