A new project called Digging into Signs, a partnership between UCL and Radboud University Nijmegen aims to create clear standards for annotation of sign language corpus data in order to help make cross-linguistic corpus research possible. The project, led by PIs Kearsy Cormier and Onno Crasborn and running for one year from June 2014, will use data from the recently collected BSL Corpus and also Corpus NGT (Sign Language of the Netherlands).
