    Paper time! Negative Polarity Items (NPIs) are words that only occur in negated statements. They are assumed to exist in every language, but examples in #SignLanguages are still rare. @CorneliaLoos and I wanted to see whether we could find some for #GermanSignLanguage, so we combined her linguistic and my computational skills to comb the #DGSCorpus for NPIs. Did we find them? *drumroll* Yeahmaybekinda, but not the ones we expected!

    Time for a re-#introduction:

    I am a researcher in #SignLanguage #Lingustics. I work at the #DGSCorpus project at #UniversitätHamburg, creators of the largest discourse corpus of #GermanSignLanguage. My background is in #ComputationalLinguistics (aka #NLP) and currently I focus a lot on #ResearchDataManagement and ethical #OpenScience for sign language data.
    I program mostly in #Python and enjoy tinkering with #LaTeX.
    I'm a big fan of Terry Pratchett's #Discworld. And of #cats. Cats are nice ❤️
