Monastic sign languages have been used in Europe from at least the 10th century by Christian monks, and some, such as Cistercian
and Trappist sign, are still in use today—not only in Europe but also in Japan, China and the USA. Unlike deaf sign languages,
they are better understood as forms of symbolic gestural communication rather than languages, and some writers have preferred
to describe them as sign lexicons. |
