XSL-HoReCo and GoSt-ParC-Sign: Two New Signed Language - Written Language Parallel Corpora

Developments in language technology targeting signed languages are lagging behind in compar-ison to the advances related to what is available for so-called spoken languages. This is partlydue to the scarcity of good quality signed language data, including good quality parallel cor-pora of signed and spoken languages. This paper introduces two parallel corpora which aim atreducing the gap between signed and spoken-only language technology: The XSL Hotel ReviewCorpus (XSL-HoReCo) and the Gold Standard Parallel Corpus of Signed and Spoken Language(GoSt-ParC-Sign). Both corpora are available through the CLARIN infrastructure
