In this study, we present a basic General Service List for Chinese Sign Language (basic GSL for CSL) that is developed on the basis of a corpus of 103,061 sign tokens by examining their frequency, range ratio, and dispersion. To test its reliability, we compared it to a frequency list in (Yuko, L. 2015. A Quantitative study of vocabulary in Shanghai Sign Language. Fudan University) and found a substantial overlap of lexical items and a positive correlation in their rank order. Focusing on the frequency information, we found that lexical richness of CSL is highly similar to that of other sign languages and is relatively modest compared with written English. The basic list consists of 902 sign types and has a coverage of about 77% of the sign tokens in the corpus. It provides (a) a valuable source of reference for compilation and further perfection of CSL dictionaries and (b) a useful guideline for CSL teaching and learning.

The unit impulse or sample sequence is mathematically expressed as zero for all n values except at n=0, where it is one. The unit impulse sequence, denoted by δ(n), is the first difference of the unit step sequence, while the unit step sequence u(n) is the...
Basic Operations on Signals
Time Reversal mirrors a continuous-time signal about the vertical axis at t=0. This is achieved by substituting t with −t. For example, if a signal x(t) is considered, the time-reversed signal is x(−t). This operation can be graphically represented, showing the mirrored signal.
