Negation in sign language #42
Comments
Hello @Gobtous , Second point, SignIt is not aimed at sentence translations. We do not aim to do it all. Sentence translation are an other, much harder NLP question we, a tiny volunteer-based Open content project, cannot afford to attack. SignIt is a word-based e-learning tool allowing learners to learn word by word, on basic 5000+ vocabulary. We have 600+ LSF so far, but we aim to create more in a professional crowd sourced maner. We simply increase exposure to sign languages by making it available in all webpages. We have 600+ LSF so far, but we aim to create more in a professional crowd sourced maner. I will close this issue here on github, but I will also report this to our signers. They also raise this kind of questions frequently. |
Well, i think it is a good question and i tought we could include irregular verb. Off-topic
Yeah that's a question that linguist can explore and dive. Is the sign "i don't want" a word in sign language ? "The fish is in the bowl" => translate into one sign : bowl-fish. I understand that the aim is to raise sign language awareness. But can we add definitions in sign language for the wikitionnary ? I want deaf people to use SignIt in their daily life and help them understanding text. So you would have an extension that is helpful for both side : hearing and Deaf. But i understand your point. sadly i'm not a developper. |
We can create and video document expression such as :
So those concepts and signs can be in the SignIt-Wiktionary datasets, and can be displayed when you look for "walk", "stairs", "leave", etc. On the other side, in webpages, when working from written text, we will never ecounter |
Thank a lot for your precision. |
Light follow up for @Gobtous. IRIS and myself lead a video recording workshop yesterday :
Based on the discussion you and me had above on github, we implemented the parenthesis approach for homographs :
We are testing around. |
In french sign language, for example :
Here is a video, that introduce well LSF. Joël Chalude show the "irregular" verb in french sign language :
https://invidious.fdn.fr/b3v7o6Xi5Zs?t=104
So it bring another layer of difficulty as Sign It translate words by word. So i'm not sure if Sign It can detect a negative sentence, i don't know how it works on the technical side. For now, i can only think of a toggle above the video. Where we can switch to the negative verb. As for other sign language, i don't know if they have the same irregular verb.
