Thank you for your introduction, Anne-Claude, and welcome to the
List! I have a quick question myself....
What is "metalinguistics", versus general linguistics?
The phrase "metalinguistics skills in Sign Language" is new to me,
and I want to make sure I understand exactly what your study entails,
before I start answering your questions...
Does anyone else know what metalinguistics is?
