Dear colleagues,

In May 2004 we launched the first Flemish Sign Language dictionary, an  
online basic dictionary which contains over 7500 signs from Flemish  
Sign Language (VGT) (including regional variants). This dictionary is  
now available on DVD. On both the website and the DVD the signs can be  
read through SignWriting and can be seen as video-files. You can  
search the dictionary in two directions; from the Dutch written word  
or from the Flemish Sign Language sign.

Hello Katrien, and everyone on the Flemish Sign Language Dictionary  
team -

Congratulations on this wonderful updated dictionary. I too would like  
to purchase some sets of the DVDs, but I do not know how to order. Can  
you provide a link for ordering the DVDs?

For those new to this dictionary, here are the two web pages that I go  
to, to access the Flemish Sign Language Dictionary Online:

Vocabulary List
http://gebaren.ugent.be/alfabet.php

and

Search for Signs by Handshape or Contact
http://gebaren.ugent.be/visueelzoeken.php

The latter is a very useful search page. You can search the dictionary  
for all the signs that use a particular handshape, or a particular  
kind of contact on a specific area of the body...

To search by handshape, click on the word Toevoegen...then click on  
the handshape symbol...

To search by contact, click on the figure to the right on the screen,  
in the exact location where you want to search for contact. Then click  
on the kind of contact you want to search for: Touch, Grasp, In- 
Between, Strike, Brush or Rub. Then click on the word Zoeken...for  
Search...smile...

It then lists all the signs that use that kind of contact on that part  
of the body...It is well programmed!


Val ;-)
