sign language dictionary
Manual communication lexicon
A sign language dictionary is a reference work showing how words or concepts are expressed in a signed language such as ASL.
Unlike spoken-language dictionaries, entries typically include images, diagrams, or videos demonstrating hand shapes, movements, and facial expressions.
The format may be organized by English gloss, by handshape, or by topic.
