- The sign language referred to throughout this article is the one used by the American deaf when communicating among themselves, sometimes called Ameslan. It is quite distinct from finger spelling and from Signed English, an imitation of English syntax employed sometimes when signing to hearing persons and also sometimes when giving oneself practice in the ways in which symbols are combined in English.

- Even though some inflections may be realized only as phonological modifications of adjacent parts of the word inflected, the part so affected also seems to occupy a moment of time unto itself.

- Some of these utterances, in fact, seem fairly straightforward (e.g., I show I don't- want play water=”l want to show [= tell] mama that I don't want to play in the water any more”).

- Dulay and Burt calculated the percent of errors rather than the percent of utterances. Regrettably, this is as close as we can come to their measure at the present time.
