The complex system of facial expressions in sign language | Faculty of Humanities
By Janne-Beate Buanes DukePublished: 26.

We have already seen examples of robot-projects that can convert text into sign language, but it has proven more challenging to translate from sign language into spoken languages.
Facial expressions and sign language
"In sign language, facial expressions are used to express both linguistic information and emotions. For example: eyebrow raise is necessary to mark general questions in most sign languages. At the same time, signers use the face to express emotions – either their own, or when quoting someone else. What we need to know more about, is what happens when grammar and emotions needs to be expressed at the same time. Will a computer software be able to capture the correct meaning?" Vadim Kimmelman asks.
Kimmelman is Associate Professor at the University of Bergen, where he works as a linguist, primarily on the grammar of sign languages, specifically Russian Sign Language (RSL) and Sign Language of the Netherlands (NGT). In his latest study published in PLOS ONE , Kimmelman is looking at what happens when different emotions are combined with different sentence types, using 2D video analysis software to track eyebrow position in video recordings.
Kimmelman and his colleagues at Nazarbayev University in Kazakhstan investigated these questions for Kazakh-Russian Sign Language, which is the sign language used in Kazakhstan.
Tracking hand, body and facial features
"In our study we asked nine native signers to produce the same sentences as statements and two types of questions (e.g. The girl fell – Did the girl fall? – Where did the girl fall?). The signer posed the questions three times, adding three different emotions (neutral, angry, surprised). Based on research on other sign languages, we had expected that both emotions and grammar would affect eyebrow position, and that we might find some interactions", Kimmelman explains.
The main novelty in this study was the use of the OpenPose software, which allows automatic tracking of hands, body, and facial features in 2D videos.

"Using this software, we were able to precisely and objectively measure eyebrow positions across different conditions, and conduct quantitative analysis.
The study showed as expected, that both emotions and grammar affected eyebrow position in Kazakh-Russian Sign Language. For instance, general questions are marked with raised eyebrows, surprise is marked with raised eyebrows, and anger is marked with lowered eyebrows".
Complex facial expressions
Kimmelman also found that emotional and grammatical marking can be combined:
"We found that with surprised general questions the eyebrows raise even higher than with neutral questions. In addition, we found some complex interactions between factors influencing eyebrow positions, indicating the need for future research. In future, we will also investigate how eyebrow movement aligns with specific signs in the sentence, in addition to how average eyebrow position is affected, and we will investigate other facial features and head and body position".
The results of this study show some real practical implications. The evolution of new technologies has clearly contributed to improve and extend the communication opportunities of hearing impaired people, Kimmelman says:
Showcasing new possibilities
"First, students learning Kazakh-Russian Sign Language (e.
g. future interpreters) should be aware of how both emotions and grammar are affecting facial expressions. Second, our findings will have an impact on projects on automatic recognition of sign language, as it is clear that both grammatical information and emotions should be considered by recognition models when applied to facial expressions".
"Last but not least, our study is a showcase of the possibilities that new technologies, such as computer vision, offer to scientific research of sign languages" Kimmelman says.
psychology in a popular format - ThePharma.Media
Is it possible to learn to read sign language without graduating from the psychology department or the FBI school? Quite - tells us the experience of thousands of people using such skills in formal and informal communication. Shall we practice?
By definition, body language conveys hidden emotions—those that people don't want others to know about. The ability to identify these hidden feelings will improve your relationship, help you identify the emotions of a partner, the needs of friends, and, of course, make it easier to work with harmful visitors.

Sign language: from psychologists to cinema
Western researchers have begun to study the non-verbal aspects of human behavior in detail since the early 1970s. At the same time, it was estimated that only 7% of important (relevant, truthful) messages consist of spoken words, and 93% of information is transmitted through non-verbal routes (38% - through intonation, 55% - through sign language \ body).
The exact figures are disputed today, but the scientific nature of the technique is no longer in doubt. However, it was popularized by series about the FBI and secret services, such as Lie to Me and Criminal Minds. They "taught" the audience to understand the emotions and motives of people, carefully peering into the face and noting subtle changes in facial expressions. The assessment of the object is "given" based on the analysis of the most informative signs, characteristics of appearance, non-verbal and verbal behavior.

Perhaps everyone has already familiarized themselves with the main keys for reading interlocutors: touched the nose - deceives, crossed his arms over his chest - passive-aggressive, looked up and to the right - composes fables ...
Sign Language: Basic Emotions
More than ten thousand different facial expressions have been cataloged to date, although it is easy for an amateur to identify only seven basic microexpressions. These are subtle gestures that allow us to read the emotions on the face of anyone, even a stranger. nine0003
Anger . The expression of anger is mainly concentrated in the upper part of the face, where we lower our eyebrows and frown. At the same time, we often compress our mouth and make it tense by slightly clenching our teeth. Another typical expression of anger is the chin slightly pushed forward.
Fear . This microexpression is characterized by wide open eyes and a parted mouth.
Joy , happiness is manifested through slightly narrowed eyes and wrinkles near the lower eyelids. When a person feigns happiness, these wrinkles will not appear. nine0003
Contempt is a very specific expression in which one corner of the mouth rises slightly, while the other remains in the form of a half smile.
Surprise : eyebrows raised, eyes wide open, mouth barely open.
Sadness is one of the hardest micro-expressions to imitate: the eyebrows come down to the bridge of the nose, the corners of the mouth drop.
Disgust . This micro-expression is one of the easiest to recognize, since all the expression in this case is concentrated in the mouth and nose. Wrinkles appear on the nose, the upper lip rises, often exposing the upper teeth. nine0003
Sign Language: Common “Reading” Mistakes
It should be taken into account that our personal perception of people is very subjective and our internal stereotypes, the so-called life experience, can play a cruel joke, rejecting useful contacts and, conversely, attracting the most natural psychoenergetic people to our camp.
"vampires".
Professional psychologists-profilers are constantly faced with false interpretations and erroneous conclusions of "detectives" who are trying to read the interlocutors' micromimics. Body language is not given to everyone, and neophytes, peering intently at the face of the object of research, lose sight of important signs and make a number of typical mistakes. nine0003
- Amateurs only consider facial expressions, thoroughly studying the micro-movements of the face. But all in vain: without context, any analysis is useless. The evaluation should take into account gestures, voice characteristics, surroundings, and more. Therefore, a smile with the left corner of the lips is nothing more than a smile. It is dangerous to interpret it in isolation from other gestures, because incorrect conclusions about a person, like excessive suspicion, are destructive for both personal and professional relationships.
- Too much attention is paid to the posture, but the characteristics of the voice are ignored.
After all, if the face of the interlocutor signals something important, this must be confirmed “vocally”: voice and facial expressions work together. And the main thing is not what a person says, but how: thoughtfully, loudly, quietly, in a high voice or lowered. As for the posture, it is not essential for determining a lie (or truth). An open or closed posture, approach or distance, crossed arms... All this shows the attitude of one person to another or conveys the mood, but says nothing about the "factual" in his speech. nine0058 - In addition to the face and facial expressions, there are also the shape of the eyebrows, nose and chin, forehead height, hairstyle and hair color, style and favorite color of clothing, as well as dozens of other interesting features that speak of important qualities of an individual. And by changing what is available to change, we can influence both the person and the results of his relationship with others!
Sign language: "closed books"
In fact, an incredible number of mistakes are made when trying to "read" people of a special type, so to speak "unreadable".
