Abstract

This paper discusses the practice with an annotation of signs of signed speech and the creation of a domain-specific lexicon. The domain-specific lexicon is primarily proposed for an automatic signed speech synthesizer. The symbolic notation system based on HamNoSys notation has been adopted as a perspective solution for this purpose. We have developed two interactive editors: SignEditor and SLAPE which allow to create and to expand the lexicon. The first one is intended for the direct insertion of notation symbols and the second one is for more intuitive notation trough a graphical interface. The sign notations in both editors can be immediately converted into the avatar animation which is shown in the 3D space. At present, our lexicon contains more than 300 signs. This initial lexicon is targeted to the domain of information systems for train connections.
