Abstract:

To celebrate the 60th birthday of Siegmund Prillwitz, founder of the
Institute for German Sign Language at Hamburg University, and to
honour his thirty years of commitment in the field of sign language
research, sixteen renowned researchers and research teams from all
over the world have published a Festschrift titled "Fortschritte in
der Gebärdensprachforschung - Festschrift für Siegmund Prillwitz /
Progress in Sign Language Research - In Honor of Siegmund Prillwitz".
The list of contributors is ample evidence of Siegmund Prillwitz'
high standing in the international research community:
Harlan Lane, Carol Padden, Sherman Wilcox, Philip M. Prinz, Dan I.
Slobin and Ronnie Wilbur from the USA, Adam Schembri from Australia,
Bencie Woll and Jim Kyle from England, Nini Hoiting from the
Netherlands, Penny Boyes-Braem from Switzerland, Elena Pizzuto and
Virginia Volterra from Italy, Elisabeth Engberg-Pedersen from
Denmark, Franz Dotter from Austria, Chrissostomos Papaspyrou from
Greece, Renate Fischer, Thomas Hanke and Hubert Wudtke from Germany.

The volume's double title in German and English is due to the fact
that thirteen of the sixteen papers have been written in English and
only three in German. The Festschrift contributions cover topics
about in the history of sign language communities, linguistic
analyses in sign language research, and insights from education and
training. Reflecting the authors' countries of origin, the papers
relate to several European and non-European sign languages, and in
many cases even compare several languages, with the authors generally
succeeding in bringing out the important universal linguistic aspects.
