The Sign Language Dataset Compendium


Data Collection Task

Jokes

The informants are asked to tell each other a joke. Similar to the Sign name task this task captures a part of Deaf culture as Deaf jokes are a part of it and it is a good warm up. If this task is prepared by the participants at home the collected data is expected to be a prepared signing monologue.

Stimulus Ask for preparation at home
Target Documentation of Deaf culture, warm up
Degree of Interaction Low (monologue)
Duration 2–7 min
