The impact of Sign Bilingualism and Co-enrolment on the language development of deaf and hearing chi
Recent decades have seen the emergence of sign linguistics as a sub-discipline of linguistic research, accumulating a body of knowledge that has enlightened linguists about the complex grammatical properties of sign language.
