Come on, no need to repeat yourself, come on! The composite nature of framing repetition
This paper investigates the use of identical and non-adjacent doubling – which can be schematised as A-B-A, and is referred to here as framing repetition (FR) – in French Belgian Sign Language (LSFB), examining what it reveals about the integration of multiple semiotic resources in meaning-making. Drawing on a corpus of conversational and narrative data from ten signers, the study combines quantitative and qualitative approaches to analyse the fr…
Challenges in sign language translation for novice translators
This study investigates the unique challenges and strategies in translating from a signed to a spoken language, focusing on translation from French Belgian Sign Language (LSFB) to French. While research on sign language interpreting is thriving, studies on translation are rather scarce, often centring on the translation of spoken to signed languages. To address this gap, we analyse student and expert translations within a newly compiled LSFB-to-F…
Crossing boundaries
The French Belgian Sign Language (LSFB) corpus is the cornerstone of a unique multilingual data system that includes four distinct corpora. The first is a reference corpus containing dialogical LSFB data produced by deaf signers, which is also translated into written French, and the second one is a comparable multimodal corpus of Belgian French containing dialogical data produced by hearing native speakers. The other two corpora are made up of in…
Conversations spontanées en langue des signes de Belgique francophone (LSFB)
Cette étude décrit l’usage des répétitions en conversation spontanée chez les locuteurs de la langue des signes de Belgique francophone (LSFB). L’approche suivie consiste à prendre en compte sans à priori toutes les répétitions rencontrées dans les productions de 18 signeurs du Corpus LSFB, de façon à disposer d’un premier aperçu global de la façon dont la répétition contribue à la structuration grammaticale, sémantique et pragmatique du discours…
Mutual intelligibility among the sign languages of Belgium and the Netherlands
In an exploratory study of mutual intelligibility between the sign languages of the northern part of Belgium (Flemish Sign Language, VGT), the southern part of Belgium (French Belgian Sign Language, LSFB), and the Netherlands (Sign Language of the Netherlands, NGT), we tested the comprehension of VGT by signers of LSFB and NGT. In order to measure the influence of iconic structures (classifier constructions and constructed action) that linguistic…
