South African Sign Language Machine Translation System
Proceedings of the 2nd international conference on Computer graphics, virtual Reality, visualisation and interaction in Africa, 2003The South African Sign Language Machine Translation System (SASL-MT System) takes as its input English text, and outputs an avatar signing the equivalent SASL. This paper describes our experiences to date with the implementation of a signing avatar, in the light of the specific requirements of Sign Language.

Constituent order in Flemish Sign Language (VGT) and South African Sign Language (SASL)
Sign Language & Linguistics, 2007This paper reports on a comparison of word order issues, and more specifically on the order of the verb and its arguments, in two unrelated sign languages: South African Sign Language and Flemish Sign Language. The study comprises the first part of a larger project in which a number of grammatical mechanisms and structures are compared across the two ...

Verb classes in South African Sign Language
2023Abstract This chapter presents a pioneer exploration of verb categories in South African Sign Language (SASL), using a corpus of authentic naturalistic narrative data. The paucity of linguistic descriptions of SASL meant that a theoretical basis for the study was derived using models developed for other sign ...

Persons with disabilities are often marginalised from economy and society due to the lack of access to disability related information and services. Through the use of assistive technologies access to the information and services can often be obtained e.g. a visually impaired user using a screen reader.

International Review of Applied Linguistics in Language Teaching, 2021
Abstract South African Sign Language (SASL) has become an increasingly popular language that hearing university students want to learn as a second language. This requires more qualified SASL instructors and new curricula at South African universities. This paper considers ways in which challenges associated with the teaching and learning

The South African sign language machine translation project
Proceedings of the 2006 annual research conference of the South African institute of computer scientists and information technologists on IT research in developing countries, 2006We report on the South African Sign Language Machine Translation project, and more specifically on our experience in extending a synchronous tree-adjoining grammar parser approach in order to generate non-manual signs and construct a suitable signing space. We show that post-processing of the target language tree, after transfer rules have been applied,

Lexical Variation and Schoolization in Sign Languages: The case of South African Sign Language
Sign Language StudiesAbstract: Variation occurs in sign languages, just as in spoken languages. Lexical variation is very common and has been related to individual schools for the deaf, so-called schoolization , rather than only to region or other common sociolinguistic factors, such as gender, social class, etc. (Baker et al. 2016).
