Current grammatical knowledge about particular sign languages is fragmentary and of varying reliability. In general, comprehensive grammars are a rarity.
The SignGram Blueprint is an innovative tool for the grammar writer: a fully-fledged guide to describing all components of the grammars of sign languages in a thorough and systematic way, and with the highest scientific standards.
The work is open access and consists of two main parts: the Checklist with all the grammatical phenomena the grammar writer can address, and the accompanying Manual with the relevant background information (definitions, examples, references) and detailed instructions.
