Dictionary of Hong Kong Sign Language

This dictionary represents a milestone of sign language research in Hong Kong. Each of the signs collected is given a near equivalent in both Chinese and English including a brief description of its linguistic properties. Through this dictionary, deaf people can learn about the nature of their own language while hearing people can get to know the sign language varieties of the local deaf community. The dictionary also lays the foundation of sign linguistics research, the development of sign interpreter training, the production of sign language teaching and learning materials.
