Prosodic Pausing in ASL Analysis

Prosodic analysis on NCSLGR corpus data, using an algorithm described in the paper Pauses and Syntax in American Sign Language by Francois Grosjean and Harlan Lane (1977).

I am not the author of the NCSLGR corpus data. It is from http://www.bu.edu/asllrp/ncslgr-for-download/download-info.html. It's worth checking there to see if a more up-to-date version is available, however I have been having issues connecting to the fileserver that hosts the zip file, so I copied it into this repository in case someone else has the same problem.

The signstream-xmlparser library was written by Christian Vogler.

Usage: python analyze.py ncslgr-xml/ncslgr10a.xml.

By default, the script will print out a bracketed tree format that will work in several different online syntax tree viewers. My favorite is http://mshang.ca/syntree/. It should also work with the TeX qtree package, with a bit of modification.
