“…Likewise, every country is having their own sign language containing their own syntactical and grammatical variations. American Sign Language [24], British Sign Language [25], Japanese Sign Language [26], Arabian Sign Language [27] and many more are the example of the efforts that have been made for the ease of impairs. In similar way India has its own sign language known as the Indian Sign Language (ISL) [28] consists of both dynamic and static hand movements.…”

Today robotics is a vibrant field of research and it has tremendous application potentials not only in the area of industrial environment, battle field, construction industry and deep sea exploration but also in the household domain as a humanoid social robot. To be accepted in the household, the robots must have a higher level of intelligence and they must be capable of interacting people socially around it who is not supposed to be robot specialist. All these come under the field of human robot interaction (HRI). Our hypothesis is-"It is possible to design a multimodal human robot interaction framework, to effectively communicate with Humanoid Robots". In order to establish the above hypothesis speech and gesture have been XVII Dissertation Publications

“…In spoken languages kinship terminology has often been studied (e.g. Wallace and Atkins 1960, Shusky 1965, Greenberg 1966, 1990, but in sign languages few studies are found in the literature (Peng 1974, Woodward 1978, Massone & Johnson 1991, Nyst 2007, Wilkinson 2009, Geer 2011. Greenberg (1966) in his study of 120 spoken languages tried to find linguistic universals in kinship terminology and found several universal hierarchies.…”

“…Sign languages are minority languages that are in contact with the majority languages spoken in their countries. Research into kinship terminology in sign languages (Peng 1974, Woodward 1978, Massone & Johnson 1991, Nyst 2007, Wilkinson 2009, Geer 2011 has shown that all the languages that were studied categorised kinship terms either in descriptive or classificatory terms. Both similarities and differences have been found in the categorisation of kinship terms between sign languages and the majority languages with which these sign languages are in contact.…”

“…In addition, some interesting structural features have been shown; for example, in Japanese sign language the fingers of the hand are used in a culturally typical order to express family relations. One difference seems to be that in sign languages, kinship terms are used as referential but not as vocative terms (addressing family members) (Peng 1974, Nyst 2007. In some sign languages kinship terms can have borrowed terms from the majority spoken language by using fingerspelling or gender marking, e.g.…”

“…in Argentinean sign language (Massone & Johnson 1991). Peng (1974) found that in Japanese sign language (JSL) kinship terms can be basic signs for lineal and nuclear relationships, and derivative signs for collateral and affinal relationships. Derivative signs are constructions of two or more basic signs (e.g.…”

Name signs have existed in Greek Deaf culture since antiquity. However, little is known about Greek Sign Language (GSL) and the Greek Deaf community. Based on interviews with 200 people, the phonological characteristics of Greek name signs are described, as well as the frequency of occurrence of specific name signs and the influence of spoken Greek. Comparisons are made with American Sign Language and the naming process in general Greek culture. The Greek Deaf community uses both types of name signs, descriptive name signs (DNS) and arbitrary name signs (ANS). The most popular form of naming uses the DNS process. Name signs are not passed down within families but are assigned by members of the Deaf community or by Deaf peers in the educational setting. Once a name sign has been assigned it stays with the recipient, usually for life. Traditionally, most name signs describe personal characteristics, but with many hearing people now learning GSL, initialized signs are appearing. Whether the Greek Deaf community will accept this practice remains uncertain.
