Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Homesign is a type of communication developed by isolated deaf individuals who lack exposure to a conventional signed language. It is not a fully developed signed language (A), nor a creole (C), which is a language that emerges from a mixture of different languages. It is also not a dialect (D), which refers to variations within a language spoken in a specific geographical or social group. Homesign can be considered a pidgin, which is a simplified language created for communication between people with different languages or systems of communication.
