Abstract(in English) This report discusses the temporal features of sign language utterance through the analysis of action of sign shadowing. Shadowing is a training method for learning foreign language in which the examples spoken by teachers are imitated just after they are spoken. In this report, shadowings of a narration video acted by deaf people in JSL were performed by various subjects and were video recorded. The analysis was carried out by examining the recorded action frame by frame using the movie analysis tool and durations and latencies of shadowed sign words were figured out. As the result, the following observations were found, (1) latencies of words differ depends on the subject groups drastically; (2) deaf people can perform shadowing with very short latency while comprehending the meaning of sign sentences.
