American Sign Language Green Books, A Teacher's Resource Text on Grammar and Culture
Best known as the Green Books, the American Sign Language books provide teachers and students of American Sign Language (ASL) with the complete means for learning about the culture, community, and the native language of Deaf people. A group of 15 ASL teachers and linguists reviewed all five books to ensure that they were accurate and easy to comprehend.

"Linguistics" is an umbrella term used to cover a wide variety of only loosely connected disciplines.
