How Visible is Visible English?

Reich, Peter A.; Bick, Margaret

Sign Language Studies, 14, 59-72, Spr 77

The fingerspelling component of thirteen samples of Visible English (the system of communication in which all speech is supposed to be simultaneoously fingerspelled) used by teachers in classrooms in two schools for the deaf were analyzed linguistically. Only 56 percent of what should have been fingerspelled was present and legible. (Author/CFM)
