Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Users of all languages have access to both linguistic (verbal) and nonlinguistic (nonverbal) signals to convey messages. In the case of spoken languages, nonlinguistic signals may be overlaid on the same channel as linguistic ones (such as "tone of voice" superimposed on grammatical uses of pitch of stress), or they may be in a different channel altogether (such as gesture or facial expression). In signed languages, only the former option is possible. It is important to realize that what may be nonlinguistic or paralinguistic for spoken languages can be linguistic or grammatical for signed languages.
