Linguistics · University of Ghana
The course will build upon what was taught in LNGS 322. It will focus on the syntax and semantics of sign language at the theoretical level, and on interpreting at the practical level.

The topics to be covered include: clause types, grammatical facial expressions, classifier constructions, aspect inflection on verbs and aspectual particles, the role of sign language in deaf culture and deaf education, sign language and spoken language interpreting, subordination and the sociolinguistics of the deaf community.
