Abstract

Sign language is a visual language. Research into Sign language, including in related areas such as linguistics and engineering is lagging behind spoken language. One reason for this is the absence of a common database available to researchers from different areas.

This paper defines how to words are selected for inclusion in the sign language database, how to select informants, what format the data are included in and how to record the data. Also, the database includes three-dimensional behavioral data based on dialogue. The following explains the results.
