Trevor Johnston is an Australian linguist and a leading expert on Auslan. Trevor received his PhD from the University of Sydney in 1989 for his work on Auslan. Trevor was responsible for coining the term ''Auslan'', and created the first Auslan dictionary, which was also one of the first sign language dictionaries that sequenced signs throughout according to principles that were language internal - such as handshape. While Trevor's research focuses on sign languages, his interests within this area are broad and include both public and academic contributions towards sign language documentation and description, sociolinguistic variation, language change, language policy and professional development for teachers of the deaf and teachers of sign languages. He has made a particularly important contribution to developments in the emerging field of corpus linguistics of sign languages. Trevor is a native Auslan user, having grown up with deaf signing parents, and with an extensive network of deaf relatives on both sides of his family. == Key Publications == (2008) Johnston, T.
