The American Sign Language Phrase Book - Plot & Excerpts
Click here for terms of use. IN1983, LOUFANT set out to create an American Sign Language phrase book that made communication easier by presenting common and frequently used phrases. For the hearing world, The American Sign Language Phrase Book became an indispensable aid to signing, skipping formal grammatical exercises and vocabulary lists in favor of simply presenting everyday phrases—with a concise section on the grammatical components, sentence structure, and other unique features of ASL. An added bonus was the illustrations, by the nationally renowned deaf artist Betty Miller, which were accessible and detailed without being complicated—and which featured a stylized version of Lou! A second edition was published in 1994 that incorporated additional vocabulary signs used by deaf people of other nationalities, in particular. More elaboration on these signs can be found in Chapter 13, "Travel." New discoveries were made about ASL grammar, which was expanded upon in the second edition.
