"Sign languages are of great interest to linguists, because, although they are the product of the same brain, their physical transmission differs greatly from that of spoken languages. In this pioneering and original study, Wendy Sandler and Diane Lillo-Martin compare sign languages with spoken languages, in order to seek the universal properties they share. Drawing on general linguistic theory, they describe and analyze sign language structure, showing linguistic universals in the phonology, morphology, and syntax of sign language, while also revealing non-universal aspects of its structure that must be attributed to its physical transmission system. No prior background in sign language linguistics is assumed, and numerous pictures are provided to make descriptions of signs and facial expressions accessible to readers. Engaging and informative."

"The discovery of “linguistic universals”, the properties that all languages havein common, is a fundamental goal of linguistic research. Linguists face the task of accounting for why languages, which apparently differ so greatly fromone another on the surface, display striking similarities in their underlyingstructure. This volume brings together a team of leading experts to show howdifferent linguistic theories have approached this challenge. Drawing on workfrom both formal and functional perspectives, it provides a comprehensiveoverview of the most notable work on linguistic universals, with chapterson syntax, semantics, phonology, morphology, and typology, and explores arange of central issues, such as the relationship between linguistic universalsand the language faculty, and what linguistic universals can tell us about ourbiological make-up and cognitive abilities. Clear, succinct, and fully up-todate,it will be invaluable to anyone seeking a greater understanding of thephenomenon that is human language."

"Sebagai bentuk interaksi sosial, komunikasi menjadi salah satu hal yang tidak dapat dihindari. Komunikasi menjadi metode yang paling mudah untuk diterapkan oleh setiap orang untuk saling bertukar informasi. Informasi yang diperoleh akan sangat bergantung pada proses komunikasi yang berlangsung. Bagi teman tuli, komunikasi menjadi hal yang cukup sulit dilakukan apabila hendak berinteraksi dengan teman dengar. Begitu juga sebaliknya, teman dengar akan kesulitan apabila melakukan hal yang serupa. Terdapat salah satu aplikasi yang dapat mengatasi kesulitan interaksi bagi teman tuli, yaitu sistem aplikasi SIBI. Sistem aplikasi SIBI mampu membantu penggunanya untuk berkomunikasi kepada sesama pengguna dengan menerjemahkan bahasa isyarat SIBI menjadi teks bahasa Indonesia begitu juga sebaliknya. Namun ternyata sistem aplikasi ini dirasa belum cukup membantu penggunanya ditinjau dari sisi desain interaksinya. Melalui permasalahan tersebut, penelitian ini hadir untuk meningkatkan kualitas desain interaksi sistem aplikasi SIBI yang diharapkan kan berdampak pada meningkatnya kualitas komunikasi bagi teman tuli. Penulis merancang suatu alternatif desain untuk menjawab permasalahan yang ada dengan menerapkan user centered design. Hasil dari desain alternatif tersebut akan ditinjau ulang hingga akhirnya menghasilkan suatu rekomendasi desain sistem aplikasi SIBI yang merupakan hasil akhir dari penelitian ini.

As a one of many forms of social interaction, communication is something that cannot be replaced. Communication is the easiest method for everyone to use to take and give the information. The information that obtained will be very useful based on the ongoing communication process before. For deaf peoples, communication becomes a difficult thing to do when they want to interact with a normal people and also a normal people will find it difficult to do the same thing. There is one application that can solve the difficulties, named SIBI application system. SIBI application system able to help the users to communicate with other users by translating the SIBI language into Indonesian text and vice versa. However, it turns out that this application system is not helpful enough to use in an interaction design point of view. Through this problem, this research is to improve the quality of the interaction design of the SIBI application system which is expected to have an impact on the quality of communication for deaf friends. The author will design an alternative design to answer the existing problems by implementing a user-centered design. The results of the alternative designs will be reviewed to finally produce a recommendation for the SIBI application system design which is the final result of this research."

"What are the unique characteristics of sign languages that make them so fascinating? What have recent researchers discovered about them, and what do these findings tell us about human language more generally? This thematic and geographic overview examines more than forty sign languages from around the world. It begins by investigating how sign languages have survived and been transmitted for generations, and then goes on to analyze the common characteristics shared by most sign languages: for example, how the use of the visual (rather than the auditory) system affects grammatical structures. The final section describes the phenomena of language variation and change. Drawing on a wide range of examples, the book explores sign languages both old and young, from British, Italian, Asian and American to Israeli, Al-Sayyid Bedouin, African and Nicaraguan."
