Sign Data ASL-LEX Legend: Larger sizes correspond to high frequency words Signs that are phonologically related (share movement, major location, flexion, and selected fingers) are connected by lines and share the same color.

You can apply different filters in ASL-LEX to limit the results of the visualisation web. By applying different constraints, certain nodes will be greyed out if they do not match the criteria. Filter can be applied based upon the following properties: Frequency Properties Sign Frequency (M) Mean subjective frequency rating for all participants (1 = very infrequent, 7 = very frequent) Sign Frequency (SD) Subjective frequency rating standard deviation (as rated by both native and non-native signers) Sign Frequency (Z) Standardized subjective frequency rating (z) (as rated by both native and non-native signers) Sign Frequency (N) Number of participants on which average frequency rating is based (both native and non-native signers) Phonological Properties Sign Type Symmetry of the hands according to Battison's sign types Selected Fingers Fingers that are moving or foregrounded in the first morpheme of the sign; Thumb is ignored unless it is the only selected finger in the sign Flexion Aperture of the selected fingers of the dominant hand at sign onset Major Location General location of the dominant hand at sign onset Minor Location Specific location of the dominant hand at sign onset Movement Path movement of the first morpheme in the sign Iconicity Properties Iconicity (M) Mean iconicity rating (as rated by hearing non-signers) Iconicity (Z) Standardized iconicity rating (z) (as rated by hearing non-signers) Lexical Properties Lexical Class The sign's lexical class (Adjective, Adverb, Name, Noun, Number, Verb, and Minor: Preposition, Pronoun, Conjunction) Compound "1" indicates that the sign is a compound. Compounds are signs that include more than one free morpheme, and morpheme boundaries are often indicated by a change in selected fingers or major location. Initialized "1" indicates that the handshape of the sign is the first letter of the English translation Fingerspelled Loan Sign "1" indicates that the sign includes more than one letter of the manual alphabet Sub-Lexical Frequency Properties Sign Type Frequency The count of other signs in which the sign type occurs Major Location Frequency The count of other signs in which the major location occurs Selected Finger Frequency The count of other signs in which the selected fingers occurs Flexion Frequency The count of other signs in which the flexion occurs Movement Frequency The count of other signs in which the movement occurs Handshape Frequency The count of other signs in which the combination of flexion and selected fingers occurs Neighborhood Properties Minimal Neighborhood Density Number of signs that share one or more of five coded phonological properties (movement, flexion, selected fingers, major location, and sign type) with the sign Parameter-Based Neighborhood Density Number of signs that share all four of four phonological properties (movement, flexion, selected fingers, major location) with the sign Maximal Neighborhood Density Number of signs that share four or more of five coded phonological properties (movement, flexion, selected fingers, major location, and sign type) with the sign
