Panel Session: The Pragmatics of Sign Languages

July 2000.

Panel organiser: Norine Berenz, Dept of Linguistics,
University of the Witwatersrand.

The panel session on The Pragmatics of Sign Languages is
intended to bring findings in the area of the pragmatics of
sign languages to the attention of theorists and researchers
working on the pragmatics of spoken languages.

The panel session on Sign Languages will be held in the
parallel session of the IPrA 2000 conference programme.  The
final number of panel session units on Sign Languages will be
determined by the number of contributions accepted for
presentation.  The maximum number is 12 (for a total of
three units).

Each panel session unit meets for 90 minutes, and comprises
a set of four 15-minute contributions and 30 minutes of
general discussion.  Written versions of all panel
contributions will be made available electronically to the
other contributors prior to the conference to facilitate
discussion.

You are invited to submit your panel presentations to the
panel organiser by 1 November 1999. Panel presentations
will be subject to anonymous review.
