Language and Linguistics Compass, 2010
Abstract Sign languages present a unique and natural opportunity to investigate the cognitive mechanisms of language comprehension and production, particularly in terms of their universality. Sign‐speech comparisons can lead to important theoretical insights about language processing.

Millions of people around the world suffer from hearing disability. This large number demonstrates the importance of developing a sign language recognition system converting sign language to text for sign language to become clearer to understand without a translator. In this paper, a sign language recognition system using Backpropagation Neural Network

Are there fractals in sign language?
Chaos, Solitons & FractalsSign language is analyzed from the perspective of Menzerath-Altmann law (MAL). In reply to a question posed in the title, this study involves a comprehensive fractal analysis of a concrete Czech sign language utterance at multiple linguistic levels. Through this examination, a novel linguistic level, the so-called ‘‘pseudosyllables’’, is unearthed and ...

Name Signs in Greek Sign Language
American Annals of the Deaf, 2002Name signs have existed in Greek Deaf culture since antiquity. However, little is known about Greek Sign Language (GSL) and the Greek Deaf community. Based on interviews with 200 people, the phonological characteristics of Greek name signs are described, as well as the frequency of occurrence of specific name signs and the influence of spoken Greek ...

The neurology of sign language
Brain and Development, 2004Forms of sign language have developed in a number of countries. American Sign Language, which originated from French signing, has been most extensively researched. As sign language is based on gestures executed in space and perceived visually it might be thought that it would mainly be a function of the right cerebral hemisphere when this is the non ...

ACM SIGGRAPH 2005 Educators program on - SIGGRAPH '05, 2005
The object of this paper is the development of a new method of sign language subtitling for motion pictures aimed at deaf children who cannot read English yet and can communicate only via signs. The method is based on the recently introduced concept of "semantroid" (an avatar limited to head and hands) and on the implementation of a new scrolling ...

Neurology, 2008
Sign languages, which use the hands and arms as articulators, are the natural languages of deaf people. Research indicates that sign, like speech, can break down at the level of motor control, in the context of a movement disorder such as Parkinson disease (PD).1 This article describes the first known case of a deaf sign language user with progressive ...

2016 3rd International Conference on Recent Advances in Information Technology (RAIT), 2016
This paper presents a novel system to aid in communicating with those having vocal and hearing disabilities. It discusses an improved method for sign language recognition and conversion of speech to signs. The algorithm devised is capable of extracting signs from video sequences under minimally cluttered and dynamic background using skin color ...

Visual similarity in sign language
2008 IEEE 24th International Conference on Data Engineering Workshop, 2008In this paper, we present an algorithm for evaluating the similarity of pairs of signs used in sign language. The proposed algorithm is based on the visual similarity on the sign and compares sequences of static positions of the signing person. The algorithm does not rely on any particular way of obtaining necessary geometric form of signs.
