“…While we have collected information on sign language corpora, the set considered here does not include any of them, as corpora of casual conversation in sign languages are exceedingly rare (Kopf et al, 2021), and annotation conventions tend to focus on the level of signs rather than utterances, sequences and timing. Incorporating sign language corpora requires careful work with sign language linguists and deaf communities to arrive at common and commensurable annotation standards that afford the cross-modal comparison of interactional structure.…”

Informal social interaction is the primordial home of human language. Linguistically diverse conversational corpora are an important and largely untapped resource for computational linguistics and language technology. Through the efforts of a worldwide language documentation movement, such corpora are increasingly becoming available. We show how interactional data from 63 languages (26 families) harbours insights about turn-taking, timing, sequential structure and social action, with implications for language technology, natural language understanding, and the design of conversational interfaces. Harnessing linguistically diverse conversational corpora will provide the empirical foundations for flexible, localizable, humane language technologies of the future.
