TISLR7 - 7th Conference on Theoretical Issues in Sign Language Research

Amsterdam, July 23rd - July 27th 2000


FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS

Due to some problems with the preparation of the conference  web site, we
are not sure that we have reached all interested researchers. We have
therefore decided to extend the abstract deadline to December 1st.

Further information not listed below is available from a temporary web
site, at:

GENERAL INFORMATION

A Conference on Theoretical Issues in Sign Language Research is organised
every two years. In 1996 it was held in Montreal, in 1998 in Gallaudet and
in 2000 it will be organised in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. The
organisation of the Seventh TISLR is a joint effort of people from
different institutions and universities in The Netherlands. The Scientific
Committee consists of people from both inside and outside The Netherlands.

CONFERENCE THEME

The theme of this conference is Crosslinguistic insights: how similar are
sign languages?
Research in the past has often focused on the similarities and differences
between sign and spoken languages.
However, over the years international research has produced a wealth of
information about individual sign
languages. Especially as this will be the first time that TISLR is
organised in Europe, it seems to be an appropriate point at which to begin
looking at the similarities and differences among sign languages. We will
focus on the conference theme in the workshops. Therefore, we would like to
encourage researchers from different universities and research institutes
to submit a joint abstract for a workshop comparing data from different
sign languages.

CALL FOR PAPERS

Authors are invited to submit abstracts on any aspect of research and
theory about sign language, including linguistic structure, language
acquisition, language contact and bilingualism, variation, discourse
analysis, poetics and metaphor, psycholinguistic and neuropsychological
processing, language assessment, research methodology and language
attitudes.

Presentation modes will be:
20 minute presentations, followed by 10 minutes of discussion
poster presentations
60 minute workshop presentations

Workshops should be geared toward issues related to the conference theme,
and consist of  3 to 4 presentations introduced by a "workshop moderator".
The moderator is asked to send in all abstracts for the workshop at the
same time.

ABSTRACT SUBMISSION

Abstracts should be written in English with a maximum of 300 words. Please
send six hard copies of an anonymous abstract together with a cover page
including the title of the abstract, full name, address, and email address,
to:
	Conference Office
	University of Amsterdam
	Spui 21
	NL-1012 WX Amsterdam
	The Netherlands
At the same time, also submit a digital version with both abstract and
personal information, either on diskette to the above address, or by email
to:
	abstract at bdu.uva.nl
The digital text should be sent in WordPerfect 5.1, Word 6.0, or ASCII
format without any layout, font size 12 pnt.
Please indicate clearly whether you are submitting the abstract for a paper
presentation, a workshop, or a poster presentation.

NOTIFICATION

Authors will be notified of acceptance or rejection by January 1999.
Accepted authors will have to submit a full paper for the interpreters by
May 15th, 2000.
