“…There is little previous research on deaf signers' gaze directions in actual conversation (Beukeleers et al, 2020). Employing eye-tracking devices in similar informal conversations could reveal numerous details on this matter and help us understand more about signing interlocutors' gaze patterns and how they monitor and relate to the other interlocutors' gaze.…”

“…Employing eye-tracking devices in similar informal conversations could reveal numerous details on this matter and help us understand more about signing interlocutors' gaze patterns and how they monitor and relate to the other interlocutors' gaze. Current eye-tracking glasses are very discreet and unlikely to distract signing interlocutors (Beukeleers et al, 2020).…”

“…Occasionally, however, such conduct prevents interlocutors from perceiving (parts of) utterances. Other times, overlapping utterances between two interlocutors make an unaddressed participant 1 miss the initial part of the next signer's contribution (Beukeleers et al, 2020).…”

This article explores comic-strip-inspired graphic transcripts as a tool to present conversational video data from informal multiperson conversations in a signed language, specifically Norwegian Sign Language (NTS). The interlocutors' utterances are represented as English translations in speech bubbles rather than glossed or phonetically transcribed NTS, and the article discusses advantages and disadvantages of this unconventional choice. To contextualize this exploration of graphic transcripts, a small-scale analysis of a stretch of interaction is embedded in the article. The extract shows conversational trouble and repair occurring when interlocutors respond to utterances produced while they as recipients were looking elsewhere. The NTS extract is introduced with a short sample of multilinear, Jefferson-inspired glossed transcript and then presented in full as graphic transcript. The article concludes that for presenting nonsensitive data, graphic transcripts have several advantages, such as improved access to visual features, flexible granularity, and enhanced readability. Data are in Norwegian Sign Language with English translations.

“…As part of certain smaller research projects, some data in the corpus have been enriched with more detailed annotations on several aspects of the lexico-grammar of VGT. Several narratives have, for instance, been segmented and annotated for depicting signs and other types of depictive tokens, constructed action and role shifting, but also mouthings and eye gaze (e.g., Van Herreweghe and Vermeerbergen, 2012b ; Beukeleers, 2015 , 2016 , 2020 ; Vaes, 2015 ; Pattyn, 2016 ; Beukeleers and Vermeerbergen, 2017 ; Braes, 2019 ; Van de Velde, 2019 ; De Vos, 2020 ; Goris, 2021 ). More recently, several researchers have also started annotating some of the conversational data in more depth while focusing on a certain aspect.…”

“…Therefore, some researchers have been using the corpus to address some research gaps. In this way, the VGT Corpus has paved the way for some initial studies on, for instance, the influence of elicitation materials on the use of signing space ( Beukeleers, 2015 , 2016 ; Beukeleers and Vermeerbergen, 2017 ), the functions of the sign TO-HAVE ( Sampson, 2016 ), repetitions ( Notarrigo et al, 2016 ), mouthings and mouth gestures ( Pattyn, 2016 ; Van de Velde, 2019 ; De Vos, 2020 ), constructed action ( Beukeleers, 2020 ; Goris, 2021 ), and the functions of PALM-UP ( Aerts, 2021 ).…”

In 1990, Vermeerbergen started the first larger-scale corpus study with (semi)spontaneous language data from adult signers on the morpho-syntactic aspects of Flemish Sign Language (VGT). After this, a number of lexicographic projects, including the collection of a 90-h corpus, led to the launch of the first online bilingual Dutch/VGT—VGT/Dutch dictionary in 2004. Since then, researchers have developed several corpora of variable sizes, with the greatest realization being the VGT Corpus. The main focus of this chapter is twofold. On the one hand the run-up to, the development and the use of the VGT Corpus will be discussed, while on the other hand smaller specific research corpora will be highlighted such as the corpus on early parent-child interaction and the multifocal eye-tracking corpus. The current chapter will discuss the research and community value of the corpora and future directions. Finally, it will elaborate on the need for corpus research, the associated advantages and disadvantages, and the obstacles faced in smaller deaf communities.
