Abstract

In this paper, we address collection of prepared Sign Language discourse, as opposed to spontaneous signing. Specifically, we aim at collecting long discourse, which creates problems explained in the paper. Being oral and visual languages, they cannot easily be produced while reading notes without distorting the data, and eliciting long discourse without influencing the production order is not trivial. For the moment, corpora contain either short productions, data distortion or disfluencies. We propose a protocol and two tasks with their elicitation material to allow cleaner long-discourse data, and evaluate the result of a recent test with LSF informants.
