Abstract
In the prospect of animating virtual signers, this article addresses the issue of representing Sign, in particular on levels not restricted to the language lexicon. In order to choose and design a suitable model, we illustrate the main steps of our corpus-based methodology for linguistic structure identification and formal description with the example of a specific structure we have named “qualification/naming”. We also discuss its similarity and difference with other Sign properties described in the literature such as compound signs. Consequently we explain our choice for a description model that does not separate lexicon and grammar in two disjoint levels for virtual signer input.Document Download
