Abstract:

The Pacific Islands region is one of the global hot spots of linguistic
diversity. However, Indigenous sign languages have rarely been documented so
far. Papua New Guinea Sign Language (PNGSL) is an Indigenous sign language
that has not been previously documented. Deaf representatives from all
provinces of Papua New Guinea have collaborated to document and further
develop this Indigenous sign language, which has also been endorsed by the
government as the fourth official language.

This is the first volume of the PNGSL picture dictionary. The signs in this
book have been agreed on by the Deaf community as a first standard to be used
for Deaf education, teacher training and interpreting services, while
acknowledging the value and coexistence of various regional varieties and of
PNGSL.
