Abstract

Based on speech observations in children and categories of semantic classes we designed a system which identifies these in natural language and translates them into a sign language. To accomplish this translation, we use algorithms to annotate a set of semantic relations in children’s language and hope to regain these sentences from natural source sentences. We define a set of rules used to change the word sequence of origin sentences at every marked relation.
