Building a theory of multimodal semiotics for icons and indices in sign languages
What kind of language is sign language? The linguistic theory of sign languages is currently under discussion all over the world. Our goal is to establish a theory of multimodal semiotics unique to sign languages, to develop a "next-generation corpus of sign languages", and to share this corpus with academic communities.
