"This dictionary is far more extensive than any available in the
US. The pictures are clear, the explanations are good and the
sample sentences will help my students use this book to expand
their ASL vocabulary. Congratulations on the terrific work. The
editors and contributors did a fantastic job. This is an AWESOME
dictionary! " Bobbie Jackson, CSC, CT, Interpreter Trainer,
American River College, Faculty at California State University,
Sacramento
"The Canadian Dictionary of ASL is...an outstanding work of
reference for Canadians....unique in its depth and scope, and its
commitment to showing regional differences....If you have any
interest in learning or improving your ASL skills, this is a
fabulous book." Gael Hannan, Abilities
"All of the available dictionary resources are exclusively
American, and it is very difficult to find Canadian materials. The
Canadian Dictionary of ASL has the Canadian influences and the
vocabulary I have been seeking for years. I especially enjoy the
signs illustrated specific to a province. I have found quite a bit
of difference from Winnipeg to Ontario, and the Dictionary has been
a source of clarification for me. Many of the people in my class
have put it on their Christmas list. This Dictionary is an
incredible piece of work that has been long overdue!" Debra S.
Amos, Interpreter Training Program, George Brown College
"I thank the Canadian Cultural Society of the Deaf for pursuing
this project to fruition, and to Ms. Bailey and Ms. Dolby for the
years of physical and intellectual energy poured into each letter
of the alphabet. It is the most important reference document
available to us in the field. The volume can only be described as
exceptional." - Tracy Hetman, Interpreter
"The Canadian Dictionary of ASL goes beyond any other signed
language print dictionary with the detail of information provided
with each entry. The editors, Carole Sue Bailey and Kathy Dolby,
carefully considered the needs of Deaf readers, novice users of ASL
and professional interpreters when organizing content.... It is an
outstanding scholarly achievement, due to the depth and breadth of
research and planning put into its development." - Denise Smith,
President, Association of Visual Language Interpreters of
Canada
"Your comprehensive reference manual significantly contributes to
the development and dissemination of knowledge about Canada in an
important and innovative fashion. Your attention to details,
including to the regional sign vocabulary variations, helps ensure
that the dynamic nature of the ASL language is preserved and
enhanced in Canada....Again, congratulations for your work which
sets a standard of excellence and is an example for students and
researchers of Canadian studies." Jack Jedwab, Association for
Canadian Studies
"This dictionary of American Sign Language is a massive
accomplishment, and one that we felt...had been very well done.
Generally the book was easy to navigate and to understand. The hand
signals on the endpapers were well displayed and an excellent
resource. The type hierarchies were clear and made word finding
easy. The diagrams were good.and were depicted by figures of all
ages and genders (a nice touch).... [A]ll in all the book is a fine
achievement." Judges, The Alcuin Society 21st Annual Awards for
Excellence in Book Design in Canada. Second Prize, Reference
