Abstract:
This extensive, well-researched and clearly formatted lexicon of a wide
variety of linguistic terms is a long overdue. It is an extremely welcome
addition to the bookshelves of sign language teachers, interpreters,
linguists, learners and other sign language users, and of course of the Deaf
themselves.
Unique to this lexicon is not only the inclusion of many terms that are used
especially for sign languages, but also the fact that for the terms, there are
not only examples from spoken languages but there are also glossed and
translated examples from several different sign languages.
There are many interesting features to this lexicon. There is an immediate
temptation to find examples of terms in the sign language one is studying as
well as determining how many of the most used concepts would be signed in the
local language. As there are to date still almost no reference grammars of
sign languages, the definitions of many of these concepts would be extremely
helpful for those linguists planning to make a reference grammar of their sign
language.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your
state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the
IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.
Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department
and sending us a form that the Indiana University Foundation fills in
and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.
Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
