The Legal Recognition of Sign Languages: Advocacy and Outcomes Around the World
This book presents the first ever comprehensive overview of national laws recognising sign languages, the impacts they have and the advocacy campaigns which led to their creation. It comprises 18 studies from communities across Europe, the US, South America, Asia and New Zealand. They set sign language legislation within the national context of language policies in each country and show patterns of intersection between language ideologies, public policy and deaf communities’ discourses. The chapters are grounded in a collaborative writing approach between deaf and hearing scholars and activists involved in legislative campaigns. Each one describes a deaf community’s expectations and hopes for legal recognition and the type of sign language legislation achieved. The chapters also discuss the strategies used in achieving the passage of the legislation, as well as an account of barriers confronted and surmounted (or not) in the legislative process. The book will be of interest to language activists in the fields of sign language and other minority languages, policymakers and researchers in deaf studies, sign linguistics, sociolinguistics, human rights law and applied linguistics.

Peirce on Signs: Writings on Semiotic by Charles Sanders Peirce
Charles Sanders Peirce (1839-1914) is rapidly becoming recognized as the greatest American philosopher. At the center of his philosophy was a revolutionary model of the way human beings think. Peirce, a logician, challenged traditional models by describing thoughts not as “ideas” but as “signs,” external to the self and without meaning unless interpreted by a subsequent thought. His general theory of signs — or semiotic — is especially pertinent to methodologies currently being debated in many disciplines.This anthology, the first one-volume work devoted to Peirce’s writings on semiotic, provides a much-needed, basic introduction to a complex aspect of his work. James Hoopes has selected the most authoritative texts and supplemented them with informative headnotes. His introduction explains the place of Peirce’s semiotic in the history of philosophy and compares Peirce’s theory of signs to theories developed in literature and linguistics.

Forbidden Signs: American Culture and the Campaign against Sign Language
Forbidden Signs explores American culture from the mid-nineteenth century to 1920 through the lens of one striking episode: the campaign led by Alexander Graham Bell and other prominent Americans to suppress the use of sign language among deaf people.The ensuing debate over sign language invoked such fundamental questions as what distinguished Americans from non-Americans, civilized people from “savages,” humans from animals, men from women, the natural from the unnatural, and the normal from the abnormal. An advocate of the return to sign language, Baynton found that although the grounds of the debate have shifted, educators still base decisions on many of the same metaphors and images that led to the misguided efforts to eradicate sign language.
“Baynton’s brilliant and detailed history, Forbidden Signs, reminds us that debates over the use of dialects or languages are really the linguistic tip of a mostly submerged argument about power, social control, nationalism, who has the right to speak and who has the right to control modes of speech.”—Lennard J. Davis, The Nation
“Forbidden Signs is replete with good things.”—Hugh Kenner, New York Times Book Review

A Dictionary of Pub, Inn and Tavern Signs: An A-Z Reference Guide to Pub Names – Their meaning, origin and history
There are few things that symbolise British culture better than the good old-fashioned pub. Over centuries, their colourful hanging signs have become an integral part of the country’s backdrop. But how much do you really know about the names of these pubs, and how they came to have them?
Have you ever found yourself at the Red Lion, the Swan with Two Necks, the Jolly Roger, the Golden Fleece or the Beetle & Wedge, and stopped to wonder how it came by its name? Or what that name might reveal about the history of the building?
The answers to all these questions, and hundreds more, are contained with A Dictionary of Pub, Inn and Tavern Signs.
Here you’ll find out how public drinking houses have changed through history, progressing from the simple custom of hanging grapes outside to boards depicting a name and illustration; how, after the Norman Conquest, some inn-keepers found themselves obliged to display elements of their new lord’s coat of arms – a lion, griffin, deer or hart; how some pubs’ names (the Plough & Harrow or the Three Horseshoes, for example), came to represent the livelihoods of many of the inn’s customers.
This illustrated reference book, arranged alphabetically, provides a brief guide to the meaning, origin and history of these names and sheds light on an important part of Britain’s heritage.
Colin Waters is also the author of A Dictionary of Old Trades, Titles and Occupations and A Dictionary of Saints’ Days, Fasts, Feasts & Festivals.

Signs of Health: A Pocket Medical Sign Language Guide (Let’s Sign BSL)
2016 KINDLE EDITION – NEW DEVELOPMENTSSince Signs of Health was first published in 1999 the situation for many Deaf patients and those with special communication needs in health care settings remains little changed.
The printed version of this book has proved extremely valuable to carers and medical staff, many of whom may be in contact with Deaf BSL (British Sign Language) users for the first time. BSL signs are also now increasingly used to support spoken communication (Sign Supported English, or SSE) with people with learning disability and additional speech and communication needs.
Professional interpreters/communicators provide vital services when sign language users require medical care. To further support the individual needs of patients, this book aims to assist communication in the everyday procedures and patient comfort that can help reassure those in health settings that needs are not overlooked – the sign vocabulary covers general care and comfort rather than medical terms per se which are more appropriately dealt with by interpreting professionals.
The contents have stood the test of time and we now wish to increase accessibility by publishing in this Kindle format – for instant download and easy reference on the go.
The pages are in textbook fixed format to keep the text with the relevant pictures – with built-in notebook, flashcard capability, multicolour highlighting, dictionary, wiki and translation links – for kindle device or tablet and smart phone, Mac and PCs using the free Kindle reader apps.
Contains 250 illustrated signs and an innovative section explaining the use of BSL classifying handshapes for on the spot help in clarifying procedures.
The background introduction gives a very succinct and clear introduction to the language implications for sign language users in medical settings.
The development of mobile applications opens up many new possibilities for improving care and communication. Learners can be further supported by our LET’S SIGN BSL publications. We welcome your feedback in planning any future materials.

Signs (Studies in Phenomenology and Existential Philosophy)
Speech is a way of tearing out a meaning from an undivided whole.”
Thus does Maurice Merleau-Ponty describe speech in this collection of his important writings on the philosophy of expression, composed during the last decade of his life. For him, expression is a category of human behavior and existence much broader than language alone. He maintains that man is essentially expressive, even prior to speaking: in his silence, gestures, and lived behavior.Read more
