SCOPE AND AIMS

Workshops on sign language representation and processing at the last day of LREC are now becoming a tradition: At LREC 2004 in Lisbon, the series started with a workshop dedicated to sign notation and sign writing as well as image processing. In 2006, at LREC in Genova, the focus was on information technology in learning sign language or learning with sign language. At the third incarnation of this workshop in Marrakesh in 2008, the focus already was on corpora. Attendees were quite happy about the workshop, the only complaint was that it was too short. So we are happy to have been given one and a half day, which is rather exceptional at LREC. This allows us to include different views on corpora: The more linguistic aspects of collecting, annotating, analysing and applying corpus data on the one hand, and sign language technology, including e.g. vision and avatar technology, making use of sign language corpora or assisting the linguistic processing of corpora.
