| Abstract(in English) | In sign language research, technically it has been possible to analyze prominence around a unit of sign. This research proposes techniques to delimit a sequential hand-movement into small units, and analyzes the prominence by the comparisons of kinematic properties on each unit between emphasized signing and non-emphasized signing in Japanese Sign Language. The original data for this paper came from 3 words which were produced by 3 native signers, 5 times in 2 modes. The result of Factor Analysis showed that prominence on the lexical parts of the sign movements in emphasized signing was most distinctive through all subjects and examples. The varieties in the transitional part of the sign movements and the longer pause insertions before the lexical part of the sign movements were also observed. |
