They offer a new way to【C2】________ how the brain generates and understands language, and【C3】________ new light on an old scientific【C4】________ : whether language, complete with grammar, is something that we are born with, or it is a learned behavior. The current interest in sign language has【C5】________ in the pioneering work of one rebel teacher at Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C., the world’s only liberal arts university for deaf people.

It was 1955, when even deaf people【C9】________ their signing as  "substandard" . Stokoe’s idea was academic heresy (异端邪说). It is 37 years later.
