TY - JOUR T1 - A different description of orientation in sign languages JF - Procesamiento del Lenguaje Natural Y1 - 2019 A1 - Sevilla, Antonio F. G. A1 - Lahoz-Bengoechea, José María AB - Sign languages are a very interesting object of linguistic study, posing challenges not present in oral languages. One of these challenges is describing and transcribing the internal structure of the language in a way that is adequate to its characteristics but also compatible with existing linguistic practice. The phonology of sign languages is of special interest. We focus on one phonological feature: that of hand orientation. We propose an interpretation and description system that better captures underlying meaning and structure, and that is more appropriate for its formal and computational treatment.
