SignLink Lexicon of American Sign Language

Based on advanced research into the linguistic structure of ASL, SignLink is a reference and learning tool for beginning to advanced students of the third most prevalent language in the United States. As a beginner's reference, SignLink provides ready access to a wealth of vocabulary items rendered in high-quality video. The cross-platform CD-ROM also provides additional learning topics to give users a more complete introduction to this fascinating, useful language.

Features:

There are many multimedia reference works available, but SignLink has many features not available anywhere else:

1. High-quality Video. SignLink has been praised by experts and students alike for the quality of its video content. Images are crisp and clear whether the video is in full motion, slow motion, or even paused.

2. Advanced Searching. Besides standard text-based searches, SignLink allows searching by parametric feature (handshape, palm orientation, location, movement, non-manual behavior). This patented process gives users the ability to find the meanings of signs they don't know.

3. Learning Modules. In addition to the dictionary-style lexicon, SignLink also includes tutorials on several investigative topics: American Deaf culture, sign language grammar, and sign linguistics.

4. Large Vocabulary. With over 1,000 clips of individual signs, and dozens of additional grammatical examples, SignLink gives users a comprehensive introduction to American Sign Language vocabulary.
