This paper describes our attention to research into non-manuals when collecting a large body of video data in Finnish Sign Language
(FinSL). We will first of all give an overview of the data-collecting process and of the choices that we made in order for the data to
be usable in research into non-manual activity (e.g. camera arrangement, video compression, and Kinect technology). Secondly, the
paper will outline our plans for the analysis of the non-manual features of this data. We discuss the technological methods we plan to
use in our investigation of non-manual features (i.e. computer-vision based methods) and give examples of the type of results that
this kind of approach can provide us with.

The alignment of head nods with syntactic units in Finnish Sign Language and Swedish Sign Language
Puupponen, Anna; Jantunen, Tommi; Mesch, Johanna (International Speech Communication Association, 2016)In this paper we examine the relationship between specific head movement events – head nods, often treated as prosodic boundary markers – and syntactic units in Finnish (FinSL) and Swedish Sign Language (SSL). In the ... -
The more you move, the more action you construct : a motion capture study on head and upper-torso movements in constructed action in Finnish Sign Language narratives
Jantunen, Tommi; De Weerdt, Danny; Burger, Birgitta; Puupponen, Anna (John Benjamins Publishing Company, 2021)This paper investigates, with the help of motion capture data processed on corpus principles, the characteristics of head and upper-torso movements in constructed action and regular narration (i.e., signing without constructed ... -
Agent defocusing in two-participant clauses in Finnish Sign Language
Nordlund, Sanna (Ubiquity Press Ltd., 2019)This article investigates what strategies are used for defocusing the agent in two-participant clauses in FinSL. The question is approached by analyzing a set of data that consists of videotaped informational texts. Several ...
