Abstract:
This paper will outline the construction of a database of medical sign language words. The authors of this paper investigated the more straightforward expression of medical sign language by analyzing the problems of the existing sign language words. As a result of a number of investigations into sign language expressions, by paying attention to more traightforward sign language expressions and focusing on the consistency of movements and the unification of expressions, we have created representations for 1,324 words on the basis of the existing movements.
