Abstract

Generation of gestures that conform to the syntax of a gestural language (such as American Sign Language (ASL)) and are congruent with the meaning of a technical term, has significant impact on enhancing the participation of people with hearing disabilities in Technical Higher Education. In this paper, we present a semantic congruity metric formulated to aid in generation of new gestures conforming to the syntax of ASL while being congruent with the meaning of the technical word and show the usage and validity of the metric using 70 ASL gestures.
