Computer sign language translation system for hearing impaired users

The paper considers peculiarities of the Russian sign language grammatical system which should be taken into account when developing a computer sign language translator. We draw a conclusion that the Russian sign language has its own grammatical system which includes word formation, morphology, and syntax, and may be described in terms and categories of the Russian language. The stage of the Russian text analysis, including morphological, syntactic, and semantic analysis, is characterized in detail.
