Further informantion on sociolinguistic background of informants and data collection setting:
[answer: yes/no]
Primary data (lemmatization, annotation, transcription)
Lemmatized:
[yes/no]
Lemmatized on the basis of
[… a sign language dictionary (standard reference of this sign language) or a lexical database containing all the signs used in the transcripts of the project as unique entries which allows consistent token-type matching following the rule: same sign – same gloss or ID)]

[answer: yes/no]
Transcribed with:
[notation system for sign languages]
Depth of transcription:
· Notation of sign types (citation form): [answer: yes/no; if yes, please quantify]
· Notation of tokens: dependent on type form (parameter(s) in which token deviates from citation form): [answer: yes/no; if yes, please quantify]
· Notation of tokens: full notation of token form: [answer: yes/no; if yes, please quantify]
· Notation of nonmanuals: [answer: yes/no; if yes, what kind of nonmanuals]
Amount of raw data lemmatized, annotated, and/or transcribed:
[hours, minutes or percentage; selective (occurrences/utterances) or continuous parts of signed texts?]
