Subject: Conference in honour of Denis Bouchard on the Web

 
The talks of the conference Les signes, leur combinaison et les propriétés
fondamentales du langage, a tribute to Denis Bouchard, which was held at the
Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM) on November 13 and 14, 2014, is now
available on the Web, at the following address:
http://web.lsq.uqam.ca/conference/index.html
Each talk includes in the same window the speaker and the PowerPoint
presentation, linked to the oral content, and the interpretation in Langue des
Signes Québécoise (LSQ). You just have to click on the title of a specific
talk to view it.
In addition to underlining the contribution of a remarkable scholar, the
linguist Denis Bouchard, to the field of cognitive sciences in general and to
linguistics in particular, the conference acted as a forum for the evaluation
of the present and future impact of his contribution in three areas of
research in which his work has had considerable influence, that is linguistic
theory, the description of languages (English, French, Norwegian, Langue des
Signes Québécoise (LSQ) and creoles) and the origin of language.
