IDGS represened at LREC in Palma de Mallorca by DGS-Korpus, SemaSign and VISTA-SL
From 11 to 16 Mai the conference LREC 2026 took place in Palma de Mallorca. Like every time it was accompanied by the sign-lang@LREC workshop about the representation and processing of sign languages, which is co-organised by members of our team. The special topic of this year's workshop was "Language in Motion". The workshop took place on Saturday, 16 Mai 2026 as a hybrid event, using International Sign and English as workshop languages.
At 52 articles it was the largest sign-lang@LREC workshop since 2010. Six of its contributions involved members of IDGS: three articles about the DGS-Korpus project, two by SemaSign and one by VISTA-SL. The DGS-Korpus articles were about the use of social media for public outreach, a corpus analysis of phenomena of spontaneous signing, and an analysis of constructed action based on KWIC views of corpus data. Overall, the four on-stage presentations and two poster sessions provided a varied selection of contributions about numerous topics of linguistics and language technologies.
