The present paper applies Multiple Correspondence Analysis to test the validity of an existing theoretical model of the phonological system of Russian Sign Language (RSL). We show that comparing the importance of phonological features using ratio plots and MCA is a promising way of revealing non-binary oppositions in phonological systems of human languages irrespective of modality.

This chapter presents the Russian Sign Language (RSL) Corpus and demonstrates
its capabilities as a research tool by summarizing three corpus-based
studies primarily focused on syntactic functions of nonmanual markers.
The first study considers question marking in regular wh-questions and in
question-answer pairs. It shows that the two constructions have very different
nonmanual markers. The second study analyzes marking of ...

Grammatical error correction is one of the fundamental tasks in Natural Language Processing. For the Russian language, most of the spellcheckers available correct typos and other simple errors with high accuracy, but often fail when faced with non-native (L2) writing, since the latter contains errors that are not typical for native speakers. In this paper, ...

When describing variation at the lexical level in sign languages, researchers often distinguish between phonological and lexical variants, using the following principle: if two signs differ in only one of the major phonological components (handshape, orientation, movement, location), then they are considered phonological variants, otherwise they are considered separate lexemes. We demonstrate that this principle ...
