Abstract
The study of sign language developed into a separate linguistic science in the 20th century. Sign language contains many gestures, as well as metaphors and metonymies. Hearing-impaired children and our environment played a major role in the examination of gestures. Furthermore, it is common for scientists to draw a parallel between the sign language gestural components and the phonemes of the spoken language. Metaphors and metonymies play a role not only in spoken language, but also in sign language. The problem of sign language metaphors is also dealt with by Taub's scheme and Grushkin's model.
