{"product_id":"9781575860121","title":"Geometry of Visual Phonology","description":"Uyechi presents an extremely thorough and formal empirical description of the various features of ASL signs, of interest to any theoretician in developing a theory of sign phonology or in testing claims in the theory of the phonology of spoken languages against data from a signed language. The author also presents a formalism for representing signs and makes a number of theoretical proposals based on this formalism. The volume's analysis indicates that the properties of core constructs of the spoken-language phonology, namely the segment and the syllable, differ from the properties of the core constructs in a formal framework of visual phonology. The Geometry of Visual Phonology also differs from other analyses in concluding that such differences are not immediately reconcilable. This volume provides a framework for discussing crucial differences between signs and speech.","brand":"Center for the Study of Language and Inf","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47053941965040,"sku":"9781575860121","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781575860121_p0.gif?v=1763783860","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781575860121","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
