	Help Kids Hear - English-Based Sign Systems
		Sign language as used by deaf adults may resemble English, or it may be American Sign Language (ASL), which has a grammar, syntax, and idioms distinct from English.
		This system used separate signs for English morphemes and signed by "root words" such as gene as the root for genetic, general, generous.
		Such a sign system is also useful with older students who have not yet mastered English, when used with a second language learning approach.

	We Sign American Sign Language
		American Sign Language, commonly know as ASL is the fourth most common language used in the United States and by using ASL children are being exposed to another language.
		ASL signs are consistent and words are generally consistent across the country.
		Signs are generally easy to do and often are recognizable because many are Iconic (they look like the word they represent) in nature.

	C&EN: COVER STORY - SYSTEMS BIOLOGY
		The approach known as systems biology is where this convergence will happen, although there's not yet consensus on what systems biology actually is. As so often happens when a new term is coming into vogue, it means different things to different people.
		Systems biology has been called a return to hypothesis-based research and a repudiation of discovery- or data-driven research, in which it was thought that computational tools would yield answers simply by mining large quantities of data.
		Ingenuity Systems, based in Mountain View, Calif., has spent five years assembling its "knowledge base" of how various genes and proteins in cells and diseases are related to one another.

	7th IASS-AIS Congress - Dresden 1999, Session abstracts
		Ch.S. Peirce warned us that no sign emerges alone, that semiosis is infinite, but we still miss a confrontation between this fact and the modern status of systems as objects investigated in the field of system theory, developed beginning with the sixth decade of the 20th century.
		On the other hand, the study of sign processes is predominantly qualitative; we are still ignorant about the way to introduce the right quantitative parameters associaled to a generic sign process.
		Semiotics, system theory and computer science ignore the traditional frontiers between disciplines and impose their own, alternative segmentations of knowledge, dictated by the typology of sign processes, the typology of systems and the typology of algorithmic processes.

	Home sign - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		While not developing into a complete language (as linguists understand the term), home sign systems show some of the same characteristics of signed and spoken languages, and are quite distinguishable from the gestures that accompany speech.
		She found that the home sign gestures of American deaf children are not acquired from modelling the gestures of their hearing parents — they more closely resemble the gestures of the Chinese deaf children halfway across the globe.
		Adam Kendon published a celebrated study of the homesign system of a deaf Enga woman from the Papua New Guinea highlands, in which he investigated the notion of iconicity in language and gesture.

	Asian Studies
		Considered as a comparative study of religious practice, this course seeks to understand thought and behavior in worship, iconography, pilgrimage, domestic and congregational performance, mythology and cosmology, trance, dance, sacrifice, ritual experience and other dimensions of religious life as well as the way that these facets of religious culture interrelate.
		The study of religion in a historically complex circumstance will provide the means to examine the processes of accommodation and tension that exist in a multi-religious environment.
		By analyzing case studies that deal with resource sustainability, environmental protection, divergent views of technology and respect for all forms of life, students will assess individual life-styles and alternative visions of the good life on planet earth.

	About Sign Languages
		Numerous lingustic studies have shown that sign languages do have their own grammatical structures, syntax, rules, etc. like any spoken languages.
		Home Signs: in some rural villages, countries or cultures, sometimes deaf children and their family members use home signs when they are not exposed to any other Deaf people, their sign languages or Deaf community.
		It is a sign system of English translation or other spoken language - word by word in signs.

	Acquiring sign language may be more innate than learned
		Indeed, the world’s sign languages tend to have more in common with each other than with the spoken languages of their country of origin and are as complex grammatically as some of the most complex spoken languages.
		To study how children move from the simple language of their parents to the more complex creole, Newport and her colleagues Jenny Singleton, PhD, and Danielle Ross, PhD, examined ASL acquisition in deaf children whose parents were late learners of the language.
		In a study by Singleton and Newport, the non-native speaking parents of one child, Simon, used this rule in a small subset of the many ways it can be used.

	Lesson Plans - Gestures, Signals, and Sign Language (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
		Standardized signals are a limited means of communication used in certain circumstances, such as by football referees or on the floor of the stock exchange.
		Sometimes, however, hand signs form a complex primary language, such as American Sign Language (known as ASL or AMSLAN) and British Sign Language (BSL), used by deaf persons in the United States and Great Britain.
		This lesson focuses on more conscious and systematic uses of hands to communicate, and how these hand sign systems relate to what are commonly thought of as "languages." That is, to systematic means of communicating by the use of agreed upon sounds or, in these cases, conventional symbols.

	Journey into DEAF-WORLD
		Deaf-Worlds exist in many lands, wherever Deaf people communicate primarily in sign language and are connected by a culture that is recognizably their own, with common values, mores, and goals.
		American Sign Language traces its roots to French Sign Language, the language used in the first public school for deaf children in France, established in the late 1760s.
		Those children's manual communication and signed vocabularies mixed with Clerc's French Sign Language and were passed on by Deaf teachers and by Deaf pupils who later had Deaf children of their own.

		To test her idea, Cooke and some colleagues are introducing students of six high schools for the deaf around the country to structural geology.
		Wondering if the relationship between signing and spatial reasoning can be further validated, Cooke now tries to incorporate "ASL-based gestures" into the classroom by encouraging her students to communicate with their hands during discussions.

	Comparisons of Sign Languages of the World
		The study of signed languages of the world, particularly those which have emerged naturally within communities of deaf people, provides unusual insight into the way humans process and develop communication systems.
		From such research we are beginning to learn that, to a surprising degree, the structure of languages and the processes by which they are formed are the same for spoken and signed languages, and are therefore constrained by factors that cross input and output modalities.
		Third, I am interested in the on-line processing of ASL, including studies of sentence comprehension and memory as well as fMRI studies asking what parts of the brain are activated during visual-gestural language processing.
