ASL Signbank
ASL Signbank is a collection of ID glosses used for annotation in the Sign Language Acquisition: Annotation, Archiving, and Sharing (SLAAAASh) project. It is a consistent and constantly upgraded resource, that serves for ongoing annotations. ASL Signbank is connected to ASL-LEX, a lexical database that includes iconicity and subjective frequency judgements.
ASL Signbank – together with ASL-LEX and SignStudy – is used in the construction of ASLNet (Lualdi et al., 2021), a wordnet for American Sign Language.
