Gallaudet
Dictionary of American Sign Language
Created by an unparalleled board of experts led by renowned ASL linguist and
poet Clayton Valli, The Gallaudet Dictionary of American Sign Language
represents the culmination of more than five years of meticulous assessment and
labor. More than 3,000 illustrations arrayed in this volume display the most
useful selection of signs to be found in any single ASL reference resource.
Each sign illustration, including depictions of fingerspelling when
appropriate, incorporates a complete list of English synonyms. A full,
alphabetized English index enables users to cross-reference words and signs
throughout the entire volume. The full-color DVD included with this dictionary
features a diverse group of native ASL signers demonstrating how to form each
of the 3,075 signs. Fully searchable, users can view a sign and quickly go to
its synonyms. This and the many other exclusive features in The Gallaudet
Dictionary of American Sign Language combine to make it the outstanding ASL
reference for all instructors, students, and users of ASL.
The American Sign Language Phrase Book
The American Sign Language Phrase Book functions as both an instant
reference tool and a long-term study guide for those interested in
understanding and utilizing ASL.
Lou Fant, host of the Emmy-nominated, nationally syndicated sign language TV
show "Off Hand," wrote many books on sign language, including Say It with
Hands and Intermediate Sign Language.
Random House American Sign Language Dictionary
Elaine Costello has compiled over 5000 signs in this massive dictionary. Each
sign is illustrated with a full-torso picture showing hand configuration and
movement, and both the common and alternate meanings are given where necessary.
Arranged like a typical dictionary, this work is easy to use and very detailed.
Even the end sheets provide ready reference to the manual alphabet and more
common handshapes. Sign language, now the fourth most commonly used language,
has changed in response to a more enlightened time, and these changes are
evident here. Not only have the signs for homosexual, China, and Japan been
updated, for instance, but new words reflecting the computer age, such as disk
and byte, have been included. Of immense value to the nonhearing and the
hearing alike; highly recommended for all libraries.
