88. Machine Gesture And Sign Language Recognition Resources about using computers to capture and decipher sign languages. http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~waleed/gsl-rec/

Machine Gesture and Sign Language Recognition Machine gesture and sign language recognition is, as the name suggests, about recognition of gestures and/or sign language using computers. A number of hardware techniques are used for gathering information about body positioning; typically either image-based (using cameras, moving lights etc) or device-based (using instrumented gloves, styli, position trackers etc.), although hybrids are beginning to come about. However, getting the data is only the first step. The second step, that of recognising the sign or gesture once it has been captured is much more challenging, especially in a continuous stream. In fact currently, this is the focus of the research. This page tries to include links to online information on this subject on the 'Net, and to stay up-to-date as far as conferences and so on are concerned.

Sign language From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. A sign language (also 'signed language') is a language which uses manual communication instead of sound to convey meaning - simultaneously combining handshapes, orientation and movement of the hands, arms or body, and facial expressions to fluidly express a speaker's thoughts. Sign languages develop in deaf communities , which can include interpreters and friends and families of deaf people as well as people who are deaf or hearing-impaired themselves. When people using different signed languages meet communication is significantly easier than when people of different spoken languages meet. Sign Language in this respect gives access to an international deaf community. However, contrary to popular belief, sign language is not universal. Wherever communities of deaf people exist, sign languages develop, but as with spoken languages, these vary from region to region. They are not based on the spoken language in the country of origin; in fact their complex spatial grammars are markedly different. However, various signed "modes" of spoken languages have been developed, such as Signed English and Walpiri Sign Language . Hundreds of sign languages are in use around the world and are at the core of local Deaf cultures Contents Geographic distribution of Sign languages Use of Signs in Hearing Communities Linguistics of sign Sign Languages' relationships with spoken languages ... edit Geographic distribution of Sign languages In principle, and without too much error, one could state that each spoken language has a sign language counterpart inasmuch as each linguistic population will contain deaf members who will generate a sign language. In much the same way that geographical or cultural forces will isolate populations and lead to the generation of different and distinct spoken languages, the same forces operate on sign languages and so they tend to maintain their identities thorough time in roughly the same areas of influence as the local spoken tongues. This occurs even though sign languages have no relation to the spoken languages of the lands in which they arise. There are notable exceptions to this pattern, however, as some geographic regions sharing a spoken language have multiple, unrelated signed languages.

It is also used in the Philippines Singapore Hong Kong C´te d'Ivoire ... Zimbabwe . As with other sign languages, its grammar and syntax are distinct from the spoken language (s) in its area of influence. There has been no reliable survey of the number of people who use ASL as their primary language; estimates range from 200,000 to 2 million Contents History of ASL Linguistics of ASL Iconicity Grammar ... edit History of ASL In the United States , as in most of the world, hearing families with deaf children often employ ad-hoc home sign for simple communications. Today, though, many ASL classes are offered in secondary and postsecondary schools. ASL is a language distinct from spoken English—replete with its own syntax and grammar and supporting its own culture. The origin of modern ASL is ultimately tied to the confluence of many events and circumstances, including historical attempts at deaf education ; possibly the sign used by the indigenous nations of North America; the unique situation present on a small island in Massacusetts; the attempts of a father to enlist a local minister to help educate his deaf daughter; and in no small part the ingenuity and genius of people (in this case deaf people) for language itself.

96. American Sign Language For example, the Dictionary of American sign language (the first such Likewise, in American sign language this type of grammatical information is not http://www.signmedia.com/info/asl.htm

The Catalog Introduction to American Sign Language Linguistic research during the past thirty years has demonstrated that American Sign Language (and indeed any of the world's indigenous sign languages) meets all of the requirements for human languages - it is a rule-governed, grammatical symbol system that changes over time and that members of a community share. Indeed, the linguistic research in this area is so overwhelming that the question of whether signed languages are languages is rarely debated anymore. This page will offer a brief overview of how individual signs are formed and of certain sentence types in American Sign Language. Individual Sign Formation Just as spoken words are formed from "parts" (e.g. vowel sounds and consonant sounds) so are the signs in any sign language. But the "parts" of signs are not sounds. Rather the "parts" of a sign are specific handshapes, movements of the hand, and specific locations of the hand. For example, the Dictionary of American Sign Language (the first such dictionary based on linguistic principles) lists 18-19 handshapes, 24 movements, and 12 locations. You can find illustrations of each these handshapes, movements, and locations in the video and text resources listed below. But, you might wonder how is it that linguists were able to identify these specific handshapes, movements, and locations. With spoken languages, you can identify meaningful sound units by finding minimal pairs. These are words that have different meanings and that differ in only one sound. Thus, that one sound must be meaningful and unique because if you change it, you produce a new word. For example, just by changing the first sound of the word hit you produce words such as bit, fit, kit, lit, mit, pit, quit, sit, wit, zit. The same procedure of contrastive analysis has been applied to American Sign Language to identify the meaningful handshapes, movements, and locations.

American Sign Language Poetry: A Demonstration for Internet 2 Introduction to ASL Poetry About Dr. Clayton Valli Introduction to Clayton Valli’s Poem "My Favorite Old Summer House" Acknowledgments Introduction to ASL Poetry Although the devices of sign language poetry are familiar to native signers, Valli was the first to provide a principled analysis. As well as advancing our technical understanding of ASL poetry, Valli is a prolific poet, and a master at exploiting the structure of sign for effect. No transcription or translation can adequately convey the astounding beauty of ASL poetry; the only way to truly appreciate this unique genre is to experience it first-hand. About Dr. Clayton Valli Dr. Clayton Valli was born deaf in Seabrook, New Hampshire. After attending the Austine School for the Deaf in Brattleboro, Vermont, he went on to study psychology at the University of Nevada-Reno. He received a masters degree in linguistics from Gallaudet University, and a doctorate in linguistics and ASL poetry from the Union Institute in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1993. After teaching for several years in Gallaudet University’s Department of Linguistics and Interpreting, Dr. Valli now works as a consultant on ASL linguistics and poetry. Introduction to Clayton Valli’s Poem "My Favorite Old Summer House" Written around 1981, My Favorite Old Summer House is Clayton Valli’s first poem. Unlike most of Valli’s work, this poem was originally written in English. Valli struggled with the earlier English version and was ultimately unsatisfied with the results. His natural interest in the creativeness and expressiveness of ASL inspired him to recast the work into ASL. My Favorite Old Summer House, written before Valli’s pioneering analysis of poetic devices in ASL, shows his natural gift for creative expression in the visual medium of sign language.
