Abstract Sign Languages (SLs) are the visuo-gestural languages practised by the deafcommunities. Research on SLs requires to build, to analyse and to use corpora.The aim of this paper is to present various kinds of new uses of SL corpora.The way data are used take advantage of the new capabilities of annotationsoftware for visualisation, numerical annotation, and processing. The nature ofthe data can be video-based or motion capture-based. The aims of the studiesinclude language analysis, animation processing, and evaluation. We describehere some LIMSI’s studies, and some studies from other laboratories asexamples.
