Through EASY, four datasets about the acquisition of Dutch Sign Language (NGT) can be found. The data were collected in the context of the PhD research of Eveline Boers-Visker (Hogeschool Utrecht / University of Amsterdam): ‘Learning to use space: a study into the SL2 acquisition process of adult learners of Sign Language of the Netherlands’.
The basis for the data within this dataset is formed by the long-term monitoring of the learning process of two adult NGT students with a spoken language background. The emphasis is on learning how to use body space to express grammatical and topographical relations.
The datasets are available Open Access in EASY:
