Deaf communication without a shared language investigated the ease with which deaf people are known to communicate across sign language boundaries. It studied both first-time dialogues of Dutch deaf signers with people from Belgium and China, as well as the performance and comprehension of sign language interpreters working for mixed international audiences. In addition, the degree of lexical overlap between sign languages was studied. Findings show that although there is some overlap between the lexicon of sign languages, this is not enough to explain the ease with which cross-linguistic communication takes place.
