Description: Acquisition Reversal : The Effects of Postlingual Deafness in Yoruba, Hardcover by Orie, Olanike Ola, ISBN 1614510431, ISBN-13 9781614510437, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Orie (Tulane U.) examines deafness that occurs after age five or six, after language has been substantially acquired, an area that has seen little study outside of English, and almost no cross-linguistic and cross-cultural study at all. In the first analysis of postlingual deafness language patterns in any African language, she focuses on Yoruba, a Benue-Congo language of Nigeria, Togo, and Benin. She documents the patterns of phonological, morphological, and syntactic losses, as well as the socio-cultural challenges faced by this significant deaf population. She also describes the gestures and sign language used in conjunction with speech by postlingually deafened Yoruba speakers. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
