“Language of gestures” deaf -mute.
What is it – pantomime, more or less successfully illustrating phonetic speech? Or an independent language with its own grammar and semantics and is in no way inferior to oral speech?
In the work of “visible voices” – one of his most interesting works – Oliver Sax puts forward a bold and original theory, according to which it is the language of gestures that is a genuine and original language of the brain.
However, the main value of the book is the real stories of people with disabilities, not only fighting for a full life, but also defeated in this struggle! ..
Sax writes with enthusiasm, thoroughly supported by scientific research data.
