Swedish Sign Language as Second Language Corpus includes video recordings and documentation of sign language texts, produced by adult hearing second language learners of Swedish Sign Language. The data selection consists of seven video sequences (.mp4 format) created here with the purpose of serving as illustrative examples for a scientific article on self-repair in L2 learners of Swedish Sign Language.
