Gallaudet Dictionary of American Sign Language

This wonderful book comes with a DVD of all the signs in the book!

ASL Handshape Dictionary (DVD)

More than 1,400 signs by 40 handshapes, and the new DVD features a diverse cast of native signers forming all of them. Each sign depicted on the DVD includes a complete list of English glosses and synonyms from The Handshape Dictionary for reference.

This fully searchable, full-color DVD enables users to survey each handshape group for a specific sign. They not only can find the corresponding English words for the sign, they will benefit from the added dimension of seeing exactly how the sign is formed from beginning to end. They can repeat a sign on the DVD as necessary to learn precisely how to form it themselves.

American Sign Language Dictionary (CD-ROM)

by Martin L. Sternberg

"This is the ASL Dictionary we've been waiting for! ASL in Motion has created a straightforward, easy-to-use DVD that offers introductory vocabulary for beginning signers, and a valuable reference for more advanced signers. The set-up is effectively simple; the menu offers a choice of 22 categories of signs, ranging from the manual alphabet to numbers to more advanced areas such as transportation signs, occupation signs, and emotion signs. Four signers of various races and genders are shown, and their sign production is slow and clear without being exaggerated. With a total of 718 signs, this DVD is an extremely valuable resource for any student of ASL."
