Australian Sign Language: An Introduction to Sign Language by Trevor Johnston and Adam Schembri offers a clear, accessible entry point to the study of Auslan, the visual language used by the Deaf community in Australia. The authors combine linguistic insight with practical examples, making the book useful for both newcomers and those with some background in sign language.

Designed as a textbook, the work covers the structure, grammar, and cultural context of Australian Sign Language, drawing on research in Oceanic and Australian languages. Readers will find concise explanations of handshapes, movements, and facial expressions, alongside exercises that reinforce learning.

The text is well‑suited for language‑arts courses, sign‑language programs, and independent study, providing a solid foundation for further exploration of Deaf culture and communication. Its approachable style helps students build confidence in both comprehension and production of Auslan.

Published by Cambridge University Press in 2021, this trade‑paperback edition runs 332 pages and is presented in English. It arrives in good used condition, ready to support anyone interested in expanding their linguistic repertoire.
