ABSTRACT The process of communication of the deaf includes the
wide use of the sign language. In practice, sign language is a
flexible enough language for communication; it helps to increase
the communication, and to promote it. There are the different
variants of the sign's systems in the different countries;
American sign language occured to be the international one. Sign
language bases on the limited set of the principal notions and
appropriated appearances. The aim of this work is to develop a
tool that should facilitate process of sign language teaching and
also give to the trainee a means for independent study of various
normative variants of sign language - for example, Russian,
English, International and so on. For setting a relations between
signs and words (or groups of words) of colloquial language the
authors use a relational database, thus use of binding of
different languages signs to the uniform corpse of concepts
provides machine translation from one dialect of sign language on
other (for example, from Russian to English, from International
to Russian etc. - in any combination). As the entrance data for
search of the necessary combination of signs the any text on one
of colloquial languages (nowadays on Russian or English) is used.
The text is exposed to the syntactic and semantic analysis for
revealing interrelations between objects described by the initial
text (for example, the mutual arrangement of objects - is higher,
below, ahead, behind or the temporary characteristics - earlier,
later), and also characteristics of objects (colour, sizes). The
specified characteristics influence as a retrieve from base of
the necessary images of signs, such as on the order of their
presentation to the spectator.
1 DESCRIPTION OF A TASK
The process of dialogue of the deaf people includes wide use of
sign languages. However, books describing various variants of
sign language (national and international (or American) forms)
are not easy available, so the training to sign language, as a
rule, is carried out by the deaf people independently during
dialogue with each other. It results that there are diverse
variants of sign language (local dialects), complicating dialogue
of the deaf people from different regions. So for example, many
deaf people do not understand signs of translaters, accompanying
television transfer.
The basic development purpose of this complex is a distribution
of knowledge about the unified widely recognized systems of sign
language for simplification of contacts between the deaf people
of the different countries. Thus the at all role of written
language or training of the deaf people to art of perception and
reproduction of speech is not belittled. The sign language is
only auxiliary means of dialogue, when use of other means is
complicated - for example, if there is necessary the fast
reception of the information by the deaf person during excursion
in other country or with listening the report or lecture.
The complex, on a plan of the authors, should facilitate process
of sign language teaching and also give to the trainee a means
for independent study of various normative variants of sign
language - for example, Russian, English, International and so on.
2 AN APPROACH
As the practice shows, the sign language is the rather flexible
dialogue tool allowing the deaf people from the different
countries (after short dialogue to learn) understand each other,
not knowing at all foreign language. It can be explained by that
the sign language is based on a set of concept designating
subjects and the basic actions, thus the dialogue goes on a meta-language
which is not having the word forms, adhered to any known
colloquial language. With direct contact the deaf people can
demonstrate each other subjects or actions and to choose
designating signs (it is natural, these signs will be unfamiliar
to the persons who are not having the direct contact to the given
group).
For setting a relations between signs and words (or groups of
words) of colloquial language the authors use a relational
database, thus use of binding of different languages signs to the
uniform corpse of concepts provides machine translation from one
dialect of sign language on other (for example, from Russian to
English, from International to Russian etc. - in any combination).
As the entrance data for search of the necessary combination of
signs the any text on one of colloquial languages (nowadays on
Russian or English) is used. The text is exposed to the syntactic
and semantic analysis for revealing interrelations between
objects described by the initial text (for example, the mutual
arrangement of objects - is higher, below, ahead, behind or the
temporary characteristics - earlier, later), and also
characteristics of objects (colour, sizes). The specified
characteristics influence as a retrieve from base of the
necessary images of signs, such as on the order of their
presentation to the spectator.
The first issue of a complex (demonstration) allows to get
acquainted with the static images of signs, whereas in the second
issue the inclusion of the driven images facilitating
understanding of features of reproduction of the signs is planned.
3 CONCLUSIONS
Though nowadays work is in an initial stage - the software for
realization of the industrial version of a complex are not chosen
finally, the level of filling of initial base of words and signs
is unsufficient, received results speak about correctness of a
choice of the basic direction of development.
It is represented, that the created complex can find application
not only as a means of training, but also as the tool of
accumulation and analysis of signs with the purpose of sign
languages standartisation.
With use of speech input of the information the created complex
in a greater degree can serve to information interchange between
two worlds of the people - the world of hearing and speaking
people and world of their deaf sisters and brothers, facilitating
for deaf people the process of adaptation in this world.
