Customer Reviews

Fantastic

Wondeful book with lots of detail, and great drawings. I learned a lot and still useit as a reference.

Excellent resource

This is an excellent resource for ASL students, lawyers, medic specialists, etc.

A scholarly treatment of a sensitive subject

Woodward has done an excellent job of researching ASL vocabulary in this book and in his other work, . He provides very useful detail about how signs are used, as well as very interesting insights into Deaf culture and ASL structure in general. I wish he would write a general textbook for beginners learning ASL done in the style of these books, as most textbooks provide little help as far as regional and socioeconomic differences in ASL.

Good resource for interpeters

This book is a great resource for ASL interpreters. It shows the signs for sex and sex related vocabulary in a tactful way.The book also shows some varations of signs that are found in different parts of the country,showing if it is a sign that men and woman both use or not. I found this book helpful in learning sex related vocabulary and encourage it to people who are studying to be interpreters or interpreters who are not yet fluent with this kind of vocabulary.
