INTERLANGUAGE FEATURES OF SIGN LANGUAGES (ACCORDING TO THE MATERIAL OF GESTURES IN SIGN FORM)
In this paper we investigate the features of gestures deaf people use in their national Sign Languages. In Sign Languages, almost every word has a sign equivalent.

We investigate the peculiarities of how gestures are formed in Sign Languages; deaf people use these gestures to communicate with each other. These peculiarities make it problematic to describe the Sign Languages linguistically.

Sign Language Translation from Instructional Videos [PDF]
The advances in automatic sign language translation (SLT) to spoken languages have been mostly benchmarked with datasets of limited size and restricted domains. Our work advances the state of the art by providing the first baseline results on How2Sign, a

Valuing All Languages in Europe [PDF]
The VALEUR project (2004-2007) took as its focus the 'additional' languages of Europe. These are defined as all languages in use in contexts where they are not 'national', 'official', or 'dominant' languages.

Evolving artificial sign languages in the lab: From improvised gesture to systematic sign.
Recent work on emerging sign languages provides evidence for how key properties of linguistic systems are created. Here we use laboratory experiments to investigate the contribution of two specific mechanisms-interaction and transmission-to the emergence

The ATIS sign language corpus [PDF]
Systems that automatically process sign language rely on appropriate data. We therefore present the ATIS sign language corpus that is based on the domain of air travel information. It is available for five languages, English, German, Irish sign language,

In this paper, we present arguments for an analysis of indicating verbs, building on Liddell (2000), as a typologically unique, unimodal fusion of signs and pointing gestures used for reference tracking.

Cross-signing—the emergence of an interlanguage between users of different sign languages—offers a rare chance to examine the evolution of a natural communication system in real time. To provide an insight into this process, we analyse an annotated video

We use automatic processing of 120,000 sign videos in 31 different sign languages to show a cross-linguistic pattern for two types of iconic form–meaning relationships in the visual modality. First, we demonstrate that the degree of inherent plurality of
