Représentation graphique de la langue des signes française et édition logicielle (2306.14754v1)
Abstract: Cet article propose une m\'ethode pour d\'efinir une forme graphique \'editable standardis\'ee pour les langues des signes, ainsi qu'une proposition "AZVD" et un \'editeur logiciel associ\'e. Inspir\'ee d'une part par les r\'egularit\'es observ\'ees dans les pratiques spontan\'ees de locuteurs pratiquant la sch\'ematisation, la d\'emarche tente garantir un syst`eme qualifi\'e d'adoptable. Li\'ee d'autre part au mod`ele formel de repr\'esentation AZee, elle vise \'egalement `a sp\'ecifier un syst`eme dont toutes les productions ont une lecture d\'etermin\'ee au point o`u elles sont automatiquement synth\'etisables par un avatar. -- This paper proposes a definition method for an editable standard graphical form of Sign Language discourse representation. It also puts forward a tentative system "AZVD", and presents an associated software editor. The system is inspired by the regularities observed in spontaneous diagrams produced by some language users, in order to make it as adoptable as possible. Moreover, it is built upon the formal representation model AZee, so that any graphical instance produced by the system determines its own read-out form, to the point that they can be automatically synthesised by an avatar.
