Abstract
Abstract:
My involvement in sign linguistics began in 1969 and is still ongoing, with affiliations and collegial relationships at a number of institutions. Interestingly, all of these affiliations began with chance meetings or serendipity. Along the way, my research focus and emphasis has shifted, depending on funding, institutional priorities, or my own choices.
