ABSTRACT

[Purpose] The purpose of this paper is to describe the procedure of making 500 Korean Sign Language (KSL) example sentences for the Korean Sign Language Online Dictionary, which were compiled by the National Institute of Korean Language. This dictionary is mainly used for sign language learning, but its use was limited because the semantic information of sign language was not sufficiently described. To improve this, 500 KSL example sentences for 125 entries were added to the dictionary. [Method] We first provide background information, such as the purpose of example sentences in dictionaries, and about the different types of example sentences. Thereafter, we explore how other sign language dictionary compilers abroad have created example sentences. [Results] We then explain how we produced authentic example sentences taken from the KSL Corpus, how we edited examples, and how we constructed example sentences. Finally, we introduce our principles and guidelines, which we developed to produce example sentences with the same consistent quality. [Conclusion] It is the first time that a KSL sign language dictionary provides so many example sentences. It is expected these example sentences will have an impact on sign language lexicography.
