Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) There is a problem that users feel arm movement unnatural in present sign language animation system. It is a factor of the problem not to consider that time length of sign language varies according to sentence structure and emphasis expression. It is necessary to analyze the time structure of sign language in order to solve the problem. However, in conventional studies, the time structure is not analyzed strictly. Thus, we investigated a unit of the time structure of sign language using a metronome. As a result, we demonstrated that the time structure was constituted on the basis of turning points of arm movement and the unit was a lower rank than a word.
