A linguistically motivated model for speed and pausing in animations of American Sign Language

摘要

Anything that can improve the life of the hearing impaired is welcome. As Huenerfauth's experimental data presents, including pauses in animations of American Sign Language (ASL) increases comprehension for ASL signers. The data presented is very detailed, but the main argument that these pauses should be introduced in specific linguistic locations of the phrases, as opposed to just anywhere, is not convincing.
