Data Collection Task
⇧

Free conversation

A lot of corpora offer free conversation episodes. Some of these recordings arise spontaneous in-between tasks, others are more planned. For the latter participants are asked to converse freely without being moderated. In some projects attention was paid, that the moderator leaves the room for this task. The task is ideal to collect spontaneous signing.

Stimulus No stimulus
Target Free (unobserved) signing
Degree of Interaction High (dialogue)
Duration 15–30 min
