Paper Abstract:
|
The Brazilian Sign Language (Libras) is the language used by the members of the deaf community, academia and related communities for access to information, citizenship, literacy, among others. The lack of adequate tools in Libras plays a major role in social exclusion and lack of citizenship of the deaf. In order to aid social inclusion of the deaf, taken here to mean a real access to full citizenship, the significant gap of technological artifacts must be filled. This paper presents a model of the computational description of the phonetic structure of Libras that will serve as the foundation stone of a vast set of tools to be constructed. This model will be used to create a sample of representative signs to aid the recording of a base of videos whose aim is to support the development of tools to support genuine social inclusion of the deaf. |
