Cued Language Structure: An Analysis of Cued American English Based on Linguistic Principles
Cued Language Structure: An Analysis of Cued American English Based on Linguistic Principles
"Eloquent...compelling." -American Annals of the Deaf, March 1999
by Earl Fleetwood, M.A.
& Melanie Metzger, Ph.D.

CUED LANGUAGE STRUCTURE addresses the very nature of language, distinguishing the features that constitute language from how those features can be conveyed. [96 pages, soft cover]

Cued Language Structure answers the following questions:

* Why is Cued Speech neither speech nor language?
* How does cueing convey the phonology, morphology and syntax of language?
* Why doesn't cueing convey the distinctive features of speech?
* Why is speech irrelevant to naturally acquiring English?
* How is cued English both visibly and linguistically complete whereas signed English is lacking and linguistically unsound?
* Why are Deaf native cuers able to understand a message that is cued without the hand or without the mouth?
* Why should a hearing person be wary of following the often touted suggestion, "cue it the way it sounds"?
* How can cued English serve as one-half of a bilingual education program?
CUED LANGUAGE STRUCTURE answers these and other questions, grounding research findings and anecdotal claims in a linguistic perspective. It addresses the very nature of language, distinguishing the features that constitute language from the ways those features can be conveyed. [96 pages, soft cover]
