Welcome! This is the website of the Catalan Sign Language (LSC) Corpus Project. This project began at the end of 2012 and it will serve as a source for developing studies on LSC, used by signers in the Catalan territory, as well as for developing linguistic materials in LSC. In the different sections of the website, you will find specific information about signed language corpora, about the LSC Corpus Project, the videos and the corresponding annotations and the link to the database. We hope you’ll find it useful and you like it!
