  • Sign Language Typology Series
    SIGN LANGUAGE TYPOLOGY SERIES The Sign Language Typology Series is dedicated to the comparative study of sign languages around the world. Individual or collective works that systematically explore typological variation across sign languages are the focus of this series, with particular emphasis on undocumented, underdescribed and endangered sign languages. The scope of the series primarily includes cross-linguistic studies of grammatical domains across a larger or smaller sample of sign languages, but also encompasses the study of individual sign languages from a typological perspective and comparison between signed and spoken languages in terms of language modality, as well as theoretical and methodological contributions to sign language typology.

  • Silorb and Signotate: a Proposal for Lexicography and Corpus-Building Via the Transcription, Annotation, and Writing of Signs
    SiLOrB and Signotate: A Proposal for Lexicography and Corpus-building via the Transcription, Annotation, and Writing of Signs Brenda Clark, Greg Clark brendarc@hawaii.edu, gregclark0130@gmail.com Abstract This paper proposes a system of standardized transcription and orthographic representation for sign languages (Sign Language Orthography Builder) with a corresponding text-based corpus-building and annotation tool (Signotate). The transcription system aims to be analogous to IPA in using ASCII characters as a standardized way to represent the phonetic aspects of any sign, and the writing system aims to be transparent and easily readable, using pictographic symbols which combine to create a 'signer' in front of the reader. The proposed software can be used to convert transcriptions to written signs, and to create annotated corpora or lexicons. Its text-based human- and machine-readable format gives a user the ability to search large quantities of data for a variety of features and contributes to sources, such as dictionaries and transcription corpora. Keywords: transcription, orthography, annotation tools Both currently exist as early versions which aim to 1.

Cornell University A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy from the University of Wollongong Faculty of Education January 2009 Abstract The purpose of this study was to apply existing design principles for the creation of successful communities of practice (CoPs) to the development of a new online community with the aim of (1) exploring the practice of special education in Bulgaria and (2) evaluating the extent and ways in which the online community supports the practice. Research and development was framed by the design-based research approach. The study was organized into three phases: needs assessment, formative evaluation, and effective- ness evaluation. Four versions of the online community were created: prototype, alpha, beta, and final. Qualitative data were collected from personal interviews and discussions held on the online community website. Quantitative data were collected from website usage logs. Mixed data were collected from web-based questionnaires and surveys and expert consul- tation and usability evaluation sessions. Mixed-method studies of this nature are often described as following an exploratory research design.
