A graphical environment for transcription of american sign language
نویسندگان
چکیده
A system to interactively create and modify/edit American Sign Language signs is described. The system is grounded on the use of three-dimensional computer graphics to construct the signs. Usability tests have been conducted to obtain early feedback on the user experience with the system. The final goal is to build a personal digital translator for the deaf. Since ASL is a visual language, it is particularly important that the interface be visually efficient, and easy to use.

متن کاملA Reflection on Kristeva's Approach to the Structure of Language
Reaching out to history and subject in terms of meaning variation, Kristeva could show that language cannot simply be a Saussurean sign system. Rather, she went on to delineate that language, beyond signs, is associated with a dynamic system of signification where the ''speaking subject'' is constantly involved in processing. Julia Kristeva, a French critic, psychoanalyst, theoretician, a post-...
