Only in the past 20 y
20、ears have specialists in language study realized that signed languages are uniquea speech of the hand. They offer a new way to probe how the brain generates and understands language, and throw new light on an old scientific controversy: Whether language, complete with grammar, is something that we a
21、re born with, or whether it is a learned behavior. The current interest in sign language has roots in the pioneering work of one rebel teacher at Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C., the worlds only liberal arts university for deaf people. When Bill Stokoe went to Gallaudet to teach English, th
22、e school enrolled him in a course in signing. But Stokoe noticed something odd: Among themselves, students signed differently from his classroom teacher. Stokoe had been taught a sort of gestural code, each movement of the hands representing a word in English. At the time, American Sign Language(ASL
23、)was thought to be no more than a form of pidgin English(混杂英语). But Stokoe believed the “hand talk“ his students used looked richer. He wondered: Might deaf people actually have a genuine language? And could that language be unlike any other on Earth? It was 1955, when even deaf people dismissed the
24、ir signing as “substandard“. Stokoes idea was academic heresy(异端邪说). It is 37 years later. Stokoenow devoting his time to writing and editing books and journals and to producing video materials on ASL and the deaf cultureis having lunch at a cafe near the Gallaudet campus and explaining how he start
25、ed a revolution. For decades educators fought his idea that signed languages are natural languages like English, French and Japanese. They assumed language must be based on speech, the modulation(调节)of sound. But sign language is based on the movement of hands, the modulation of space. “What I said,
26、“ Stokoe explains, “is that language is not mouth stuffits brain stuff.“（分数：10.00）(1).The study of sign language is thought to be( ).（分数：2.00）A.a new way to look at the learning of languageB.a challenge to traditional, views on the nature of languageC.an approach to simplifying the grammatical struc
