Sign language processing is often performed by processing each individual sign. Such an approach relies on an exhaustive description of the signs and does not take in account the spatial structure of the sentence. In this paper, we will present a general model of sign language sentences that uses the construction of the signing space as a representation of both the meaning and the realisation of the sentence. We will propose a computational model of this construction and explain how it can be attached to a sign language grammar model to help both analysis and generation of sign language utterances.
