Abstract

There are expressions using spatial relationships in sign language that are called directional verbs. To understand a sign-language sentence that includes a directional verb, it is necessary to analyze the spatial relationship between the recognized sign-language words and to find the proper combination of a directional verb and the sign-language words related to it. In this paper, we propose an analysis method for evaluatingthe spatial relationship between a directional verb and other sign-language words according to the distribution of the parameters representing the spatial relationship.
