Investigating the underlying causes of SLI: A non-sign repetition test in British Sign Language
There is controversy over the specificity of Specific Language Impairment (SLI), and whether it is caused by a deficit general to cognition or in mechanisms specific to language itself. We argue that evidence to resolve these conflicting positions could come from the study of children who are acquiring sign language and have SLI. Whereas speech is characterized by rapid temporal changes, the ph...
متن کاملSentence Repetition in Deaf Children with Specific Language Impairment in British Sign Language
Children with specific language impairment (SLI) perform poorly on sentence repetition tasks across different spoken languages, but until now, this methodology has not been investigated in children who have SLI in a signed language. Users of a natural sign language encode different sentence meanings through their choice of signs and by altering the sequence and inflections of these signs. Gramm...
متن کاملA Resource for Natural Language Processing of Swiss German Dialects
Since there are only a few resources for Swiss German dialects, we compiled a corpus of 115,000 tokens, manually annotated with PoStags. The goal is to provide a basic data set for developing NLP applications for Swiss German. We extended the original corpus and improved its annotation consistency. Furthermore, we trained dialect-specific PoS-tagging models and implemented a baseline system for...
متن کاملUsing a Language Technology Infrastructure for German in order to Anonymize German Sign Language Corpus Data
For publishing sign language corpus data on the web, anonymization is crucial even if it is impossible to hide the visual appearance of the signers: In a small community, even vague references to third persons may be enough to identify those persons. In the case of the DGS Korpus (German Sign Language corpus) project, we want to publish data as a contribution to the cultural heritage of the sig...
متن کاملDeclarative sentence intonation patterns in 8 swiss German dialects
This study examines declarative sentence intonation contours in 8 vastly different Swiss German dialects by the application of the Command-Response model. Fundamental frequency patterns of a controlled declarative sentence are analyzed on the global and local level of intonation. The results provide evidence of a different patterning for the dialects in the context of how global and local level...
