The DGS corpus project is project of the month! The Union of the German Academies of Sciences and Humanities currently comprises 131 projects dedicated to a wide variety of topics. From these, a selection is made every month together with the Federal Ministry of Education and Research to choose the “Project of the Month”. In September, this is the DGS corpus project. Our project is presented and explained in detail on the Akademienunion website. The full report can be found here.
We are delighted that our research and documentation of German Sign Language is on this list alongside many other exciting and unique projects.
