American Sign Language fingerspelling recognition from video: Methods for unrestricted recognition and signer-independence
In this thesis, we study the problem of recognizing video sequences of fingerspelled letters in American Sign Language (ASL). Fingerspelling comprises a significant but relatively understudied part of ASL, and recognizing it is challenging for a number of reasons: It involves quick, small motions that are often highly coarticulated; it exhibits significant variation between signers; and there h...
متن کاملNominal Possession in American Sign Language
This restriction cannot be attributed to an animacy hierarchy effect with respect to the interpretation of possessors in ASL, nor can it be straightforwardly accommodated by semantic approaches analyzing possession as a contextually-defined relational variable (see Barker 1995 for English). The analysis here does account for this restriction, appealing only to (a) independently-motivated proper...

متن کاملSyntactic Priming in American Sign Language
Psycholinguistic studies of sign language processing provide valuable opportunities to assess whether language phenomena, which are primarily studied in spoken language, are fundamentally shaped by peripheral biology. For example, we know that when given a choice between two syntactically permissible ways to express the same proposition, speakers tend to choose structures that were recently use...
متن کاملSign lowering and phonetic reduction in American Sign Language
This study examines sign lowering as a form of phonetic reduction in American Sign Language. Phonetic reduction occurs in the course of normal language production, when instead of producing a carefully articulated form of a word, the language user produces a less clearly articulated form. When signs are produced in context by native signers, they often differ from the citation forms of signs. I...
