Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Focusing on American Sign Language (ASL), this book offers a comprehensive introduction to the basic grammatical components of phonology, morphology, and syntax with examples and illustrations.
Revised throughout, this new edition:
- demonstrates how sign languages are acquired by Deaf children with varying degrees of input during early development, including no input where children create a language of their own
- discusses the contexts of sign languages, including how different varieties are formed and used, attitudes toward sign languages, and how language planning affects language use
- includes a new chapter on the similarities between signed and spoken languages
- offers additional visuals and explanations as well as more coverage of signed languages other than ASL
- is accompanied by updated online support material, which hosts links to video clips
This engaging and accessible introduction to sign languages is essential reading for students studying this topic for the first time with little or no background in linguistics.
