SignHunter – A Sign Elicitation Tool Suitable for Deaf Events

Thomas Hanke, Elena Jahn, Sabrina Wähl, Oliver Böse, Lutz König

Abstract
This paper presents SignHunter, a tool for collecting isolated signs, and discusses application possibilities. SignHunter is successfully used within the DGS-Korpus project to collect name signs for places and cities. The data adds to the content of a German Sign Language (DGS) – German dictionary which is currently being developed, as well as a freely accessible subset of the DGS Corpus, the Public DGS Corpus. We discuss reasons to complement a natural language corpus by eliciting concepts without context and present an application example of SignHunter.
