SOMMAIRE Langage gestuel américain des sourds et études sur les sourds aux Etats-Unis: Compte rendu Ce compte rendu présente un bref aperçu des principaux ouvrages sur l'histoire, la structure et l'enseignement du langage gestuel américain des sourds (ASL) publiés au cours des vingt-cinq dernières années. Il met également en évidence les recherches sur les qualités linguistiques de ASL et propose une introduction aux études sur la culture des sourds. Bien que cet article mette l'accent sur ASL, il y est question également des études sur le langage gestuel britannique des sourds (BSL), le plus étudié de ces langages après ASL. RESUMO Amerika Gesto-lingvo kaj nuntempaj usonaj studoj pri surdeco La aǔtoro donas mallongan superrigardon de la cefaj verkoj en la historio, strukturo kaj instruado de Amerika Gesto-lingvo (ASL) eldonitaj en la pasintaj dudek kvin jaroj. Li ankaǔ emfazas esplorojn pri la lingvaj ecoj de ASL kaj donas enkondukon al studoj pri la surdula kulturo. Kvankam la eseo fokusiĝas je ASL, ankaǔ diskutigas studoj pri Brita Gesto-lingvo (BSL), kiu estas, post ASL, la plej vaste studata natura gesto-lingvo.
