About the Book
Minds and Signs is a primer about cognitive linguistics designed for preteens who are curious about how the mind works and about American Sign Language. This book is designed to answer simple questions such as 'What is a metaphor?" It builds on concepts through educational scaffolding and grows more complex as the end of the book is reached.
