Abstract
This paper presents results of the analysis of French Sign Language (LSF) conventional signs that have been extracted from a LSF dictionary, in order to help the design of LSF processing systems. The signs (more than 1200) have been described, regarding manual parameters from an articulatory point of view. The movement parameter has been considered regarding the moving articulator: hand, wrist, and forearm. Thus, handshape, orientation and location parameters have been considered to be static or dynamic. The descriptions have been stored in a database, allowing us to compute quantitative data for each parameter and for the links between the parameters. Our analysis on this database gives us clues to design new description systems of lexical signs for SL processing, for automatic recognition or generation with the aim to design more accurate and synthetic representations.Document Download
