Glosses and ASL

Chicago Manual of Style
SEVENTEENTH EDITION
Page 665 and 666

11.128 Glosses in ASL. The written-language transcription of a sign is called a gloss. Glosses are words from the spoken language written in small capital letters: WOMAN, SCHOOL, CAT. (Alternatively, regular capital letters may be used.) When two or more written words are used to gloss a single sign, the glosses are separated by hyphens. The translation is enclosed in double quotation marks.
The sign for “a car drove by” is written as VEHICLE-DRIVE-BY.

One obvious limitation of the use of glosses from the spoken/written language to represent signs is that there is no one-to-one correspondence between the words or signs in any two languages.

Please note, prior references to 16th Edition 11.147 Glosses in ASL read exactly the same, but different section.

138 Spelling should follow Australian practice. The preferred spelling in the latest edition of the Macquarie Dictionary should be used if a word has an alternative spelling. If a word cannot be found in that dictionary, then the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary should be used. The Style Manual is also a useful source of information, for example, on matters of capitalisation and the position of breaks in words.
