Summary
"The general stereotype regarding interaction between American Sign Language and English is a model of oversimplification: ASL signers are direct and English speakers are indirect. In this study, Jack Hoza upends this common impression through an in-depth comparison of the communication styles between these two language communities."--BOOK JACKET.
