• Resumen

  • Rubin talks about Al-Sayyid Bedouin Sign Language (ABSL). The beauty of ABSL is that it is emerging right now, in front of linguists' eyes. ABSL has other features that make it especially appealing. ABSL thus offers a unique opportunity to test a theory that has dominated linguistics since the 1950s.
