The main objective of this ANR-funded research project is to set up acollaborative web-basedplatform for the study of semiogenesis in LSF (French Sign Language),i.e. the study of emerging structures and signs, be they used by Deafadult signers, Deaf children, or even by Deaf and hearing subjects ininteraction.In section 2, we address theoretical and practicalissues, emphasizing the outstanding features of the Creagest Project.In section 3, we deal with methodological issues fordata collection. Finally, in section 4, we examine technicalaspects of LSF video data editing and corpus annotation, in the perspective ofsetting up a corpus-based formalized description of LSF. |
