The Canadian Dictionary of ASL is a must-have for students, families, teachers, interpreters, linguists and anyone who communicates with members of the Deaf Community. Back Cover: "Often interpreters 'gloss' or use the same English word every time we see a specific sign. This Dictionary provides several English words for specific signs, giving me a variety of alternatives for each sign." -Carol Arink, Interpreter "ASL is the most common language used when Deaf people in most of Canada communicate with one another." -David G. Mason, York University "The Canadian Dictionary of ASL goes beyond any other signed language print dictionary with the detail of information provided with each entry. The editors carefully considered the needs of Deaf readers, novice users of ASL and professional interpreters when organizing content.. It is an outstanding scholarly achievement, due to the depth and breadth of research and planning put into its development." -Denise Smith, Association of Visual Language Interpreters of Canada [Sample entries: Single Entry; Entry With Multiple Signs; Fingerspelled Entry; Entry Without an Illustration] Back Flap: "Deaf Canadians have long recognized a need for the documentation of our signs. In 1982, we rolled up our sleeves and got to work on this monumental task. We are proud to share this achievement with you." -Charmaine Letourneau, C.M. Developed in conjunction with The Canadian Cultural Society of the Deaf, this comprehensive dictionary has over 8700 signs, many unique to Canada. Material for this extensive work has been drawn from many sources and includes input gathered from members of Canada's Deaf community.
