Description

The Auslan and Australian English Corpus is the first bilingual, multimodal documentation of a deaf signed language (Auslan, the language of the Australian deaf community) and its ambient spoken language (Australian English). It aims to facilitate the direct comparison of face-to-face, multimodal talk produced by ten deaf signers and ten hearing speakers from the same city (Melbourne).
