Meeting Description:
The fifth meeting of the “Formal and Experimental Advances in Sign language
Theory” (FEAST) colloquium will take place at the University of Venice on 1-2
September 2016. For the coming four years, FEAST is the official conference of
the research project “The Sign Hub: Preserving, Researching and Fostering the
Linguistic, Historical and Cultural Heritage of European Deaf Signing
Communities with an Integral Resource” (2016-2020) funded by the European
Commission within the Horizon 2020 programme.
FEAST is a regular forum to discuss formal approaches to sign language grammar
(in particular in the generative tradition), experimental approaches to sign
languages, and their interaction.
Although there is no registration fee, people who plan to attend the
conference are asked to inform the organizers by sending an e-mail to:
