Data for: Insights on narrative enactments in signed and spoken discours in Quebec Sign Language, American Sign Language and Quebec French

These dataset in video format is to illustrate examples of the data directly which are cited in the chapter of the same title published in the book Signed Language and Gesture Research in Cognitive Linguistics (doi.org/10.1515/9783110703788-010). Those videos are used to present a portrait of the use of enactment in sign and spoken discourses for LSQ (L1 and L2), ASL (L1), and French (L1) discourses and are drawn from the Projet Marqspat corpus under the auspices of Groupe de recherche sur la LSQ et le bilinguisme sourd, at Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM).

The data used in this chapter were collected through a SSHRC project (regular grant) from 2011 to 2015, entitled " Étude de la variation de forme et de sens dans la réalisation du marquage spatial pour trois langues des signes". Projet Marqspat is a corpus of spoken/signed data produced in four languages (LSQ, ASL, English and French) where all participants were exposed to the same elicitation conditions,including a four-hour test aimed at the production of specific morphosyntactic, semantic and discursive structures within an elicitation setting.
