Summary of linguistic thesis Adamorobe Sign Language (AdaSL)

Adamorobe is a village in Ghana with a high % of deafness and a unique, locally evolved SL, AdaSL. This language is currently endangered, as the deaf children of the village acquire ASL in their boarding school. I wrote my descriptive PhD thesis at this language. You can download it at http://www.lotpublications.nl/... The video here is featuring myself, preparing myself to give a summary of my thesis in Sign Language of the Netherlands to the general public during my defence ("lekenpraatje"). You can find more info on AdaSL on http://www.lucl.leidenuniv.nl/...
