Advanced Sign Language Vocabulary; Raising Expectations

This new edition represents an updated collection of advanced sign language vocabulary facilitating enriched vocabulary development and elevated academic standards. This collection of signs reflects the vocabulary one would encounter in an educational or employment-related setting intended for use by educators, interpreters, parents, and anyone wishing to expand their sign language vocabulary. The signs have been collected from established base signs and initialized signs observed within the Deaf community. The signs are divided into academic categories with each sign clearly illustrated and movement described. This text is further enhanced by providing the conceptual origins of the signs to promote easy retention and an alphabetical index to help locate individual signs quickly.
