Description:The British Sign Language Corpus is a collection of British Sign Language video clips of 249 deaf signers from the UK. The BSL Corpus project is based at the Deafness Cognition and Language Research Centre, University College London, lasted from 2008–2011 and was led by Adam Schembri. A related dataset is the BSL SignBank. Metadata on the participants was collected via 39 questions on personal and language background following the standards for meta data collection by Crasborn and Hanke (2003) and using the IMDI format. The recordings were made in a studio, using three cameras in three different angles (one on each signer and one on the pair). The participants were recorded in pairs, sitting next to each other in front of a blue background. They were asked in advance to wear plain coloured clothing. The tasks were moderated by a deaf researcher, except for the unobserved conversation mentioned above for which they would leave the room.
