Author Chiara Branchini presents students, academics, and researchers with an examination of relativization strategies and clefting in Italian Sign Language (LIS). The author has organized the eight chapters that make up the main body of her text in three parts devoted to an introduction to Italian Sign Language, relativization, and clefting. Individual chapters are focused on clefting in spoken languages, relative clauses in sign languages, and a wide variety of other related subjects. The author is a faculty member of Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, Italy. Annotation ©2015 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
