Meeting Description: 

Between You and Me: Local Pronouns across Modalities

http://www.ru.nl/optimalcommunication/events/workshop_history/local_pronouns/local_pronouns/

All languages in the world have personal pronouns, such as 'I' referring to the
speaker, 'you' referring to the addressee, and 'she' referring to another
referent. First and second person pronouns are called local pronouns as they
refer to the persons in the local context: the speaker and the hearer. Local
pronouns thus encode the two key roles in face-to-face communication. Their main
usage lies in the direct interaction between the participants in a conversation. 

In this workshop we want to discuss research on the distribution, meaning, and
use of local pronouns, in the hope that it can give us more insight in how the
local communicative context influences grammar. In addition to local pronouns in
spoken languages, we are especially interested in contributions dealing with
pronouns in sign languages. After all, signed languages appear to be ultimately
suited for direct interaction between the signer and the addressee, and have
been argued to have rather different pronominal paradigms. 

Interpreters from English to ASL and from ASL to English are present at all times.
