 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this project is to produce complete annotations (transcriptions) of previously collected longitudinal samples of the development of American Sign Language (ASL) by preschool aged Deaf children; to analyze these data at the lexical, morphological, and syntactic levels to provide benchmarks of typical development; and to make both the annotated videos and linguistic analyses of each session available to researchers, teachers of the deaf, sign language teachers, and the sign language community. Deaf people are often primarily users of a sign language; in the US, this is ASL. While knowledge of English is also important, ASL may be the first and/or preferred language due to its accessibility. For this reason, accurate and detailed data on the development of ASL by Deaf children is an important resource. Professionals can use such information to assess language development in a variety of circumstances, both typical and atypical. The project requires two prongs of approach. On one side, improvements will be made to an existing platform for annotation of video data. In particular, to make this platform optimal for sign language corpora, a system for integrating a sign language lexicon database is required. On the other side, annotators will use this system to standardize and finalize an existing partially-completed set of transcripts covering over 200 hours of video-recorded interactions between Deaf children and their Deaf parents or other interlocutors. These data will be analyzed at three levels of linguisti structure. In particular, the analysis will focus on areas of language which are known to develop during the age range observed. In conducting this analysis, the project will reveal paths of language development that are particular to sign languages, as well as ways that sign language development and spoken language development coincide. In the end, the video data, annotations, and linguistic coding will all be made available using web-based archiving systems. This is the first time that such a resource will be shared with the sign language acquisition community.

 描述（由申请人提供）：该项目的目标是对之前收集的学龄前聋哑儿童美国手语（ASL）发展的纵向样本进行完整的注释（转录），以从词汇、形态上分析这些数据；和句法水平，以提供典型发展的基准；并向研究人员、聋人教师、手语教师和聋人社区提供每个课程的带注释视频和语言分析。通常主要使用手语；在美国，这就是 ASL；虽然英语知识也很重要，但由于其可访问性，ASL 可能是首选语言和/或首选语言，因此需要准确而详细的发展数据。聋哑儿童的 ASL 是一个重要的资源。专业人士可以使用此类信息来评估各种情况下的语言发展，包括典型的和非典型的。该项目需要采取两个方面的方法，一方面，将对现有平台进行改进。用于视频数据的注释。特别是，为了使该平台最适合手语语料库， 另一方面，注释者将使用该系统来标准化和最终确定现有的部分完成的转录本，涵盖聋哑儿童与其聋哑父母之间超过 200 小时的视频录制互动。这些数据将在语言结构的三个层面上进行分析，该分析将重点关注在观察的年龄范围内已知的语言发展领域。揭示手语特有的语言发展路径，以及手语发展和口语发展的一致方式。最终，视频数据、注释和语言编码都将通过基于网络的存档系统提供。这是第一次与手语习得社区共享此类资源。
