Sign Language Linguistic Research Project (ASLLRP).  ASLLRP is a
collaborative research project, involving researchers at Boston

2) Development of a multimedia tool, called SignStream, to facilitate
access to and analysis of primary data for sign language research.
Each of these projects is currently funded by the National Science
