”ProGram material, The stories Snowman and Frog, where are you?” (hereinafter referred to as ProGram story material) is a collection of material gathered in the Finnish Sign Language Corpus Project (CFINSL, formerly FinSLs), which has been processed in the ProGram project examining the grammar and prosody of Finnish Sign Language (project “Aspects of the grammar and prosody of Finnish Sign Language” funded by the Academy of Finland in 2013–2018, responsible researcher PhD, Docent Tommi Jantunen). The material consists of stories told in Finnish Sign Language: ”Lumiukko” (”Snowman”) and ”Sammakko, missä olet?” (”Frog, where are you?”).
The stories were recorded in early 2013 using picture books, with the signers sitting in pairs facing each other in a recording studio and performing various linguistic tasks designed for the CFINSL data collection. The signer pairs were filmed simultaneously using six Full HD cameras (1920×1080, 25-50 frames per second) from different angles (overhead view, two different individual shots of both signers, and a ceiling camera shot); the second signer in each pair was also filmed with a Kinect sensor.
The video material has been annotated in the ELAN programme with regard to signs, sentence-level translations, sentence structure, semantic roles, constructed actions, and head and body movements and postures.
A special feature of the material is that it also includes numerical data on the head movements of each signer and the degree of openness of their eyes and mouth, produced using the SLMotion programme, which utilises computer vision from video.
The LAT platform, installed at the Language Bank of Finland, was discontinued at the end of 2020, and so this corpus is no longer accessible via LAT, but the corresponding content is available in downloadable format. The downloaded data can be studied and processed using tools such as ELAN and Praat.
