ISL-LEX v.1 : An Online Lexical Resource of Israeli Sign Language
SDG Highlights
Description
The ISL-LEX is an open source of 961 Israeli Sign Language signs with interactive information of: subjective frequency ratings from native signers, iconicity ratings from native and non-native signers, and phonological properties in six domains. The selection of signs was also designed to reflect a broad distinction between those signs acquired early in childhood and those acquired later. This online interface is intended for use by researchers, educators, and students and is offered in two text-based versions: English and Hebrew, with video instructions in ISL.
