Abstract

Sign languages are natural languages with their own set of gestures and grammars. The grammar of Vietnamese sign language has significantly different features compared with those of Vietnamese spoken/written language, including the shortening, the grammatical ordering, and the emphasis. Natural language processing research on Vietnamese sign language including study on spoken/written Vietnamese text shortening into the forms of Vietnamese sign language is completely new. Therefore, we proposed a rule-based method to shorten the spoken/written Vietnamese sentences by reducing prepositions, conjunctions, and auxiliary words and replacing synonyms. The experimental results confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed method.
