Letter sent to USP Press (EDUSP) asking for information about ordering NOVO DEIT-LIBRAS via Edusp web page

Fri Mar 5 23:47:31 UTC 2010

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

*Prezados senhores e prezadas senhoras da Edusp,*
*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.*
*Agradeco a gentil atencao.*
*Cordialmente*
*Fernando Capovilla*

>> Dear colleagues,
>>
>> 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.
>>
>> 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).
>>
>>
>> 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:
>> 1) a chapter that teaches how to read and write Brazilian Sign Language
>> signs using SignWriting,
>>
>> 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,
>>
>> 3) a chapter on the neuropsycholinguistics processes involved in the
>> scientific behavior of analyzing sign morphological structure
>> 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
>> 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.
>>
>> http://www.edusp.com.br/detlivro.asp?id=31411786
>>
>> 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.
>> 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.
>>
>> Thank you.
