Our Place—Geographical signs
Place name signs in the Online Dictionary of NZSL.
This project (2016–2017) researched and documented signs that are commonly used for New Zealand place names in NZSL.
Signs were collected in 11 locations (Whangarei, Auckland, Hamilton, Napier, Te Puke, Palmerston North, Wellington, Nelson, Christchurch, Dunedin, and Invercargill). A total of 101 Deaf community members took part in data collection meetings in these locations.
More than 1000 signs were collected, of which 443 have been added to the NZSL Online Dictionary.
Funding
This project was funded by the NZSL Fund.
