Those profoundly deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals, who learn to sign from an early age, live in a bilingual\/bicultural environment composed of deaf and hearing realities and hence learn both the signed and non-signed varieties of languages existing in their societies. Outside English-speaking countries, in an increasingly globalized world, deaf people come into contact with the English language in specific domains; indirectly through interpretation and translation or directly by learning it as a foreign language. The reception\/production of verbal, visual, multimodal texts in English facilitates international communication and integration among the deaf and between deaf and hearing people. The volume aims to explore a range of intercultural\/interlinguistic encounters with English, in a variety of international signed and non-signed combinations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Lang Group Ag, International Academic P","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47584762691735,"sku":"9783039116102","price":11423.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783039116102.webp?v=1774957775","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/english-in-international-deaf-communication-9783039116102","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
