Kata Kolok Corpus
The Kata Kolok Corpus is a collection of Kata Kolok done by Connie de Vos in Bali.
The Kata Kolok Corpus recorded not only deaf signers, but also hearing signers who are fluent and non-fluent. This is due to the community-centered approach and the community documented being highly bimodal bilingual. Therefore the recordings contain spontaneous signing from deaf signers in monologues, dialogues and multi-party conversation in Kata Kolok, deaf-hearing interaction in multi-party interactions and dialogues, and hearing community members using Bali with co-speech gestures.
Next to this spontaneous conversations aimed elicitation took place with standardised stimulus material as Sylvester and Tweety. Recordings took place all over the village and some recordings were done with more than one camera.
Part of the data was translated into Indonesian. The Indonesian sentences were then translated into English.
A second corpus with signing children as well as a signbank also exist.
