Abstract(in English) The study of recognition of sign language on a computer has not been making whole sentence an object, rather than making the recognition of finger spelling, facial expression, simple hand movement and a word for the main object. Because the grammar and the syntax of sign language are different from those of the natural language, it is difficult to analyze the sentence. The constituent of the sign language are considered that hand shape, hand location, hand movement and palm direction. In a broad sense, however, there are also nonmanual signals, namely, facial expression, head and body movement and tilt etc. These nonmanual signals have a lexical and a syntactic function in a sentence. For that reason, without nonmanual signals, it is difficult to recognize exactly meaning of sign language sentence. Therefore, we classified the sign language into 11 patterns with 'intonation break' which is one of the nonmanual signals, and then analyzed the ASL.
