CALL FOR PAPERS

Special issue of the journal 'Lingua' on:

Sign language classifiers


Guest editors: Gary Morgan & Bencie Woll (City University, London)

Scope of the Issue:

There has been much interest in the linguistic description of classifiers in
sign languages in recent years.  In particular, the question of
understanding the polymorphemic structure of these constructions, their use
in syntax and role in encoding topographic information have been central
areas of research.  The aim of this special issue is to address these and
related questions with particular emphasis on linguistic and
psycholinguistic analysis and data.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

 *       Syntactic analysis of classifiers

 *       Cross-linguistic comparison of classifiers

 *       The role of clasifiers in discourse

 *       First language acquisition of classifiers

 *       Language impairment and classifiers
