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 action) in FinSL. Specifically, the paper evaluates the validity of two arguments concerning constructed action: that constructed action forms a continuum with regular narration, and that constructed action divides into three subtypes (i.e., overt, reduced, and subtle). The results presented in the paper support the first argument but not directly the second one. Because of the ambiguous position of reduced constructed action in between subtle and overt constructed action, we argue in the paper that the present three-part typology of constructed action may need revising. As an alternative way of subcategorizing the phenomenon we propose a division between strong and weak constructed action.

What Comes First : Combining Motion Capture and Eye Tracking Data to Study the Order of Articulators in Constructed Action in Sign Language Narratives
Jantunen, Tommi; Puupponen, Anna; Burger, Birgitta (European Language Resources Association, 2020)We use synchronized 120 fps motion capture and 50 fps eye tracking data from two native signers to investigate the temporal order in which the dominant hand, the head, the chest and the eyes start producing overt constructed ... -
Evaluation of 3D Markerless Motion Capture System Accuracy during Skate Skiing on a Treadmill
Torvinen, Petra; Ruotsalainen, Keijo S.; Zhao, Shuang; Cronin, Neil; Ohtonen, Olli; Linnamo, Vesa (MDPI AG, 2024)In this study, we developed a deep learning-based 3D markerless motion capture system for skate skiing on a treadmill and evaluated its accuracy against marker-based motion capture during G1 and G3 skating techniques. ... -
Variation in the use of constructed action according to discourse type and age in Finnish Sign Language
Puupponen, Anna; Kanto, Laura; Wainio, Tuija; Jantunen, Tommi (Elsevier BV, 2022)This paper presents a study of the use of constructed action (CA) in the stories and conversations of adult Finnish Sign Language (FinSL) signers of different ages. CA is defined here as a type of depiction in which a ... -
Between bodily action and conventionalized structure : The neural mechanisms of constructed action in sign language comprehension
Hernández, Doris; Puupponen, Anna; Keränen, Jarkko; Ortega, Gerardo; Jantunen, Tommi (Elsevier, 2024)Sign languages (SLs) are expressed through different bodily actions, ranging from re-enactment of physical events (constructed action, CA) to sequences of lexical signs with internal structure (plain telling, PT). Despite ... -
Opening up Corpus FinSL : enriching corpus analysis with linguistic ethnography in a study of constructed action
Puupponen, Anna; Hodge, Gabrielle; Anible, Benjamin; Salonen, Juhana; Wainio, Tuija; Keränen, Jarkko; Hernández, Doris; Jantunen, Tommi (Mouton De Gruyter, 2024)Corpus methods are now established within the field of signed language linguistics. Empirical investigations of signed language corpora have challenged many early assumptions about the nature of deaf community signed ...
