First line

British Sign Language is a language of movement and space, of the hands and of the eyes, of abstract communication as well as iconic story-telling, but most important of all, it is the language of the deaf community in the UK.

From the rear cover

This book provides a study of the communication and culture of deaf people, and particularly of the deaf community in Britain. The authors' principle aim is to inform educators, psychologist, linguists and professionals working with deaf people about the rich language the deaf have developed for themselves.
