For an article I'm writing on dictionaries and language contact, I'm interested to know whether people here can point me to dictionaries of sign languages with certain characteristics. The word dictionary is used loosely here, so that if you know of a set of online videos, a small print glossary, etc., that meets any of the criteria I'm looking for, I'm interested in hearing about it.
First, I'm wondering if anyone knows of monolingual sign language resources. This means being able to look up a sign without knowing a different, written language's equivalent, and seeing the definition in that same sign language. Or even something that's mostly monolingual, where the written word might bring you to the definition, but then the entire rest of the entry is a definition of the sign (not merely the translation equivalent, but an actual definition).
Next, I'm wondering whether there are any bilingual sign language dictionaries that do not include a spoken language. In other words, some sort of resource that tells e.g. a BSL speaker the ASL sign.
Lastly, I'm interested to see whether SL dictionaries exist that are aimed principally at Deaf people to help them with the spoken language of their territory (e.g. an English-ASL dictionary that is aimed at the ASL learner of English, not the English learner of ASL). Ideally, this would be made clear in the front matter of the dictionary, but this is not always the case.
