multi-disciplinary project are being offered at the University of Haifa,
Israel. The project is called The Grammar of the Body: A
Multi-disciplinary Approach to Compositionality in Language. Inspired by
the relation between bodily articulators and grammatical compositionality in
sign languages, the research program is comprised of five subprojects
investigating compositionality in sign language, gesture, and artistic
performance. It will be funded by a European Research Council grant to
Wendy Sandler.</span></p>
