The British Sign Language (BSL) Corpus Project is a new three-year project (from January 1 2008 to December 31 2010) funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (grant RES-062-23-0825). The project is led by staff at the Deafness Cognition and Language Reseach Centre (DCAL) at University College London, but also includes researchers from Bangor University (Wales), Heriot-Watt University (Scotland), Queens University Belfast (Northern Ireland) and the University of Bristol (England).
The project has two main aims:
(1) to create a collection (a “corpus“) of video clips showing Deaf people using BSL that will be put on the internet
(2) to carry out research using this collection into BSL grammar and vocabulary, variation in BSL across the country and how BSL is changing.
