The Auslan Dictionary

Bilby Publishing has released a new Auslan Dictionary for teachers, parents and professionals,

..... the first ever Auslan dictionary to include not only the sign image but also:

Descriptions of how to perform the sign;
Hints to help you remember and teach the sign to children;


A list of English words associated with the sign;
State usage information;


Context usage information.

For example, 'can' has two listings: one for 'I can...' and the other refers to the 'ring pull can'.

Each listing includes notes to help you understand the context under which it is appropriate to use that sign.

It includes over 1400 signs in alphabetical order and a thorough English word index. Being a 2009 edition, it contains many modern signs never before documented such as extreme sports and internet terms.

Please be aware that this is an dictionary for adults and does include adult words, including those of a sexual nature. These are important for sexual awareness education of children, and thus have been included.

This dictionary has already received glowing recommendations and reviews and is available at a special introductory price of only $50!

For further details and ordering, go to the Bilby website.
