American Sign Language is constantly adapting to the needs of Deaf people, our families, and those with whom we associate. Lexicography, (the making of dictionaries), is like painting sunsets. By the time the paint dries the subject has changed.  <br><br> To use this dictionary, at the top of this page click the first letter of the word you are seeking.  That will load the links into the left hand side of the page.  Then scroll down to the word you are looking for and click on it. Not all words are there (yet) but I add more and more as time goes on.<br> <br> Best wishes in your ASL endeavors.<br> Cordially,<br> - Dr. Bill<br>___________________<br> William G.
