SEM-LEX

ASL-LEX is a lexical database that provides information about thousands of signs in ASL. It includes details on how frequently each sign is used, how complex it is, and even how iconic it is (how closely the sign’s form matches its meaning). ASL-LEX helps students, researchers, and anyone interested in ASL to better understand the structure of the language and its vocabulary. This tool makes it easy to explore and learn more about the ASL lexicon.

The Team

ASL-LEX is a collaboration with the Cognition, Language and Plasticity Lab at Chapman University, and the Laboratory for Language and Cognitive Neuroscience at San Diego State University.
