This book stems from a workshop on the use of the mouth in European sign languages held at the University of Leiden, in The Netherlands, in December 1998. Presentations and discussion there covered a wide range of issues at the heart of research on mouth patterns. There is a broad agreement that there are at least two learly identifiable types of mouth patterns in sign languages: They may be derived from a spoken language or they may have formed from within the sign languages and bear no relation to the mouth movement of a spoken language. Issues of terminology in this area are still not resolved.
