Eliciting Spatial Reference for a Motion-Capture Corpus of American Sign Language Discourse
We seek computational models of the referential use of signing space and of spatially inflected verb forms for use in American Sign Language (ASL) animations for accessibility applications for deaf users. We describe our collection and annotation of an ASL motion-capture corpus to be analyzed for our research. We compare alternative prompting strategies for eliciting single-signer multi-sentent...
متن کاملNominal Possession in American Sign Language
This restriction cannot be attributed to an animacy hierarchy effect with respect to the interpretation of possessors in ASL, nor can it be straightforwardly accommodated by semantic approaches analyzing possession as a contextually-defined relational variable (see Barker 1995 for English).

For example, we know that when given a choice between two syntactically permissible ways to express the same proposition, speakers tend to choose structures that were recently use...
متن کاملSign lowering and phonetic reduction in American Sign Language
This study examines sign lowering as a form of phonetic reduction in American Sign Language. Phonetic reduction occurs in the course of normal language production, when instead of producing a carefully articulated form of a word, the language user produces a less clearly articulated form. When signs are produced in context by native signers, they often differ from the citation forms of signs. I...
