David Brien (ed.): Dictionary of British Sign Language/English. Faber and Faber 1992/93, 1080p. Pds. 15 (pb). This volume offers far more than one would expect from a work described simply as a dictionary. The objectives of the editor were as much sociological and political as lexicographical. A sketch of the history and culture of deaf people is included, as well as a careful description of the morphology and syntax of the British Sign Language. 7132 Hans Bruegelmann: BLISS - globales Kommunikationsmittel und zugleich Anfangsschrift fuer Kinder?
