Abstract

Native signs used as basic kin terms in 20 sign languages from several sign language families are examined. The distribution of the kin terms in these 20 languages shows similarity to that of kin terms in spoken languages and also presents some interesting implications both linguistic and socio-cultural that warrant further exploration.
