Summary/Abstract: Linguistic competence of every person consists of knowledge of grammar and lexicon. Lexicon is structured in such a way that enables fast retrieval of words, understanding word meaning etc. Word associations (WA) help us to understand organization of words in the mental lexicon. WA have been scarcely used in sign languages. As we plan a research of WA in Czech sign language, we need to make a list of suitable signs. Our paper describes the process of making this list, our resources and role of deaf consultants as vital part of the research preparations.
