Typological studies require a broad range of linguistic data from a variety of countries especially developing nations whose languages are under-researched. This is especially challenging for investigations of sign languages because there are no existing corpora for most of them and some are completely undocumented. To examine three cross-linguistically fruitful semantic fields in sign languages from a typological perspective for the first time a detailed questionnaire was generated and distributed worldwide through emails mailing lists websites and the newsletter of the World Federation of the Deaf (WFD). This resulted in robust data on kinship colour and number in 32 sign languages across the globe 10 of which are revealed in depth within this volume. These comprise languages from Europe the Americas and the Asia-Pacific region including Indonesian sign language varieties which are rarely studied. Like other volumes in this series this book will be illuminative for typologists students of linguistics and deaf studies lecturers researchers interpreters and sign language users who travel internationally.
