    Some Aspects of a Sign Language Quantitative Analysis

  • Original language description

    National sign languages of the Deaf have been considered natural languages by linguists for more than fifty years. Judging by the available professional publications it does not appear, however, that this conclusion could be verified in the light of the foreseeable validity of the Menzerath-Altmann law (MAL), which is one of the key laws of quantitative linguistics. The MAL might therefore be used as a touchstone for detecting whether the communication system has the character of a full-fledged, natural language. It requires, among other things, identifying a related analogy of the sign language levels of the given “text” structures under consideration, segmented appropriately in terms of constructs and constituents. The desired positivity of the shape parameters in the MAL is calculated numerically and verified statistically by means of the coefficient of determination R2, jointly with the homoscedasticity and normality of random errors. Our concrete experiments concern the analysis of three speeches performed by three Deaf users of Czech Sign Language (český znakový jazyk = ČZJ) on given topics in ČZJ.
