Alignment Data Base for a Sign Language Concordancer
Résumé
This article deals with elaborating a data base of alignments of parallel French-LSF segments. This data base is meant to be searched
using a concordancer which we are also designing. We wish to equip Sign Language translators with tools similar to those used in text-
to-text translation. To do so, we need language resources to feed them. Already existing Sign Language corpora can be found, but do
not match our needs: working around a Sign Language concordancer, the corpus must be a parallel one and provide various examples
of vocabulary and grammatical construction. We started with a parallel corpus of 40 short news and 120 SL videos , which we aligned
manually by segments of various length. We described the methodology we used, how we define our segments and alignments. The
last part concerns how we hope to allow the data base to keep growing in a near future.
