Behav Res Methods. 2016 Mar;48(1):123-37. doi: 10.3758/s13428-014-0560-1.

Abstract

The LSE-Sign database is a free online tool for selecting Spanish Sign Language stimulus materials to be used in experiments. It contains 2,400 individual signs taken from a recent standardized LSE dictionary, and a further 2,700 related nonsigns. Each entry is coded for a wide range of grammatical, phonological, and articulatory information, including handshape, location, movement, and non-manual elements. The database is accessible via a graphically based search facility which is highly flexible both in terms of the search options available and the way the results are displayed. LSE-Sign is available at the following website: http://www.bcbl.eu/databases/lse/.

Keywords: Lexical database; Sign language; Spanish Sign Language (LSE lengua de signos española); Stimulus material.
