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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e«(...) this book is a fascinating work and includes a number of important contributions by some of the most well-known researchers on sign languages.» (Timothy Reagan, Studies in Second Language Acquisition)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents: Cynthia J.
