Basic Instructions

This short introduction to the questionnaire briefly explains the basic features of the four questionnaires and how to answer the questions and upload pictures and videos.

All questionnaires are organized by grammatical and by sociolinguistic categories. Within each category, you find a couple of questions that elicit how each sign language realizes a specific grammatical or sociolinguistic feature.
Most questions are either simple Yes/No-questions or they are multiple-choice questions that provide several possible answers. In the latter case, we explicitly specify whether multiple answers are possible or whether only one answer can be selected. Occasionally, a question can be answered by writing some text or moving a range slider.
