Corpus NGT (Researcher's website)
Corpus NGT
The Corpus NGT is an open access online corpus of movies with annotations of Sign Language of the Netherlands (abbreviated as SLN or NGT). This web site provides information about the construction and use of the corpus, as well as the Creative Commons licensing conditions that apply to its use. The Corpus NGT forms part of the Browsable Corpus of the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics in Nijmegen, and actual access takes place through their online IMDI corpus browser. Easy access for the general public is provided at the Dutch site, where movies of pairs of signers with interpreter voice-over (if available) are offered.
The project was carried out at the Linguistics department of Radboud University by Onno Crasborn, Inge Zwitserlood & Johan Ros.
