<p>Dear Charles,<br>I was not aware that <u>the web site used to support only Brazilian addresses</u> and that <u>it did not use to accept credit cards from customers abroad</u>. Thank you for informing me about that.<br>
I am terribly surprised with that very relevant information. <br>Could you please verify whether that is still the case?<br>If you cannot order from abroad, then I will go personally to the USP Press (Edusp) to see what they can do about it.<br>
Thank you so very much.<br>Fernando Capovilla</p>
<div>PS: I am forwarding your message to the USP Press to as to pave the way to solving that problem.<br></div>

<div><strong>Prezados senhores e prezadas senhoras da Edusp,</strong></div>
<div><strong>Gostaria de saber se clientes do exterior podem adquirir o Novo Deit-Libras usando cartao de credito e especificando endereco no exterior. Um cliente dos Estados Unidos (Sr. Charles Butler) acaba de informar que ele nao consegue especificar enderecos no exterior para entrega. Caso o site da Edusp permita expedir compras apenas no Brasil, solicito informacoes sobre procedimentos alternativos para permitir a clientes no exterior adquirir o dicionario.</strong></div>
<div><strong>Agradeco a gentil atencao.</strong></div>
<div><strong>Cordialmente</strong></div>

<div>How can I purchase this book in the United States? The last time I went to the Web site it only supported Brazilian addresses (which would not take my credit card). I can pay it by credit card and have it shipped to an address in Canoas, RS, if that would help.<br>

<div><br>
<div>Dear colleagues,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I am writing to communicate that the monumental NOVO DEIT-LIBRAS: ENCYCLOPEDIC ILLUSTRATED DICTIONARY OF BRAZILIAN SIGN LANGUAGE BASED ON COGNITIVE LINGUISTIC AND COGNITIVE NEUROSCIENCES (2.460 pages, 2 volumes, hardcover, paper chamois fine dunas, font bookman old style 7-8) has been finally released by The University of Sao Paulo Press. It brings 9,828 independent sign entries, 14,000 Portuguese glosses, 60,000 English glosses.<br>
<br></div>
<div>Each sign entry provides a sign form illustration, a sign form description (on both cheremic and morphemic levels), a SignWriting rendition, a sign meaning illustration, a sign meaning description, the Portuguese gloss written both in alphabet and digital spelling, the English gloss, grammar classification, an example of usage in a phrase, description of sign morphological structure, description of sign iconicity (how meaning inspires form), sign geographical validity (the Brazilian states in which each sign is valid and currently used - there is a total of 23,850 geographical references for all Brazilian regions).<br>
<br> </div>
<div>In addition to that NOVO DEIT-LIBRAS: ENCYCLOPEDIC ILLUSTRATED DICTIONARY OF BRAZILIAN SIGN LANGUAGE BASED ON COGNITIVE LINGUISTIC AND COGNITIVE NEUROSCIENCES brings several special chapters:<br></div>
<div>1) a chapter that teaches how to read and write Brazilian Sign Language signs using SignWriting,<br> </div>
<div>2) a chapter on Brazilian Sign Morphology that fully explains and illustrates 34 molecular metaphorical morphemes that combinate to generate 982 signs, and 595 molar metaphorical morphemes,<br> </div>
<div>3) a chapter on the neuropsycholinguistics processes involved in the scientific behavior of analyzing sign morphological structure<br></div>
<div>4) a chapter explaining the theoretical bases of the new paradigm of sign lexicography based on Cognitive Neurosciences that has been used to generate our NOVO DEIT-LIBRAS: ENCYCLOPEDIC ILLUSTRATED DICTIONARY OF BRAZILIAN SIGN LANGUAGE BASED ON COGNITIVE LINGUISTIC AND COGNITIVE NEUROSCIENCES<br>
</div>
<div>The NOVO DEIT-LIBRAS: ENCYCLOPEDIC ILLUSTRATED DICTIONARY OF BRAZILIAN SIGN LANGUAGE BASED ON COGNITIVE LINGUISTIC AND COGNITIVE NEUROSCIENCES can be ordered via the site below. </div>
<div> </div>
<div><span><a href="http://www.edusp.com.br/detlivro.asp?id=31411786" target="_blank">http://www.edusp.com.br/detlivro.asp?id=31411786</a></span><br><br>Because production has been subsidized by government, we managed to make this ground-breaking dictionary incredibly affordable. The regular cover price would be about R$ 800,00. However, it is being offered for only R$ 220,00. In addition, Brazilian teachers are entitled to purchase it for just R$ 110,00.<br>
</div>
<div>Our old ENCYCLOPEDIC ILLUSTRATED BRAZILIAN SIGN LANGUAGE DICTIONARY (Capovilla & Raphael, 2001) has been distributed to 70,000 Brazilian deaf children. Now our purpose is to distribute our brand new NOVO DEIT-LIBRAS: ENCYCLOPEDIC ILLUSTRATED DICTIONARY OF BRAZILIAN SIGN LANGUAGE BASED ON COGNITIVE LINGUISTIC AND COGNITIVE NEUROSCIENCES (Capovilla, Raphael, Mauricio, 2009) to each and every Brazilian deaf child. There are 6 million deaf and hard of hearing people in this country, and we would love reaching each and everyone of them, giving them a hand as a sign of love for what they are and hope for a better future. I am counting on you, friends and colleagues, to spread the good word and the good sign about this good news.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thank you.</div>
