Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Sign language is used by deaf people, and is a natural interactive visual language different from and independent of spoken language. Research on speech data of the Japanese language has vastly developed in the fields of engineering and linguistics. Research on sign language in the fields of engineering and linguistics, however, has lagged. One of the reasons is lack of a database available to any researcher. This research thus plans to discuss a methodology to construct a versatile database of Japanese sin language (JSL). An aim of this research is to construct an interdisciplinary database which can be used by a lot of researchers in the fields of engineering, cognitive science, linguistics and many others.
