The Sign Language Dataset Compendium

Data Collection Task
⇧

Lexical elicitation

Signers are asked to sign isolated signs, sometimes with an additional short explanation sentence of the sign. The signs are presented in written form and/or with pictures. Commonly covered areas are colours, weekdays, numerals, seasons, the human body and others. The amount of elicited signs varies, for example the DGS Corpus elicited 34 terms, the BSL Corpus 102 concepts. This task is mainly focused on the study of (regional) variation.

Stimulus Written word and/or picture
Target Lexical variation
Degree of Interaction Low (monologue)
Duration 10–15 min
