Meeting Description:

The expression of emotions in languages turns out to be particularly
interesting when looking at sign languages across the world since sign
languages are more expressive and iconic than spoken languages. Not
surprisingly, affective, emotional, and expressive aspects of sign
languages have gained a lot of interest in the past years,
particularly pushing forward the debates about the linguistic status
of different kinds of manual and nonmanual emotional expressions in
sign languages at the gesture-sign continuum. Investigating emotional
expressions in the visual-spatial modality thus provides new empirical
and theoretical insights in the linguistic and cognitive analysis of
emotional expressions at all levels of grammar and communication.

In this workshop, we aim at bringing together research on the
expression of emotions in sign languages from different perspectives
and disciplines. Investigating the expression of emotions in the
visual-spatial modality covers not only a wide range of linguistic
areas (e.g., parts of speech, facial expressions, demonstrations,
iconicity, irony), but also a variety of communicative situations
(e.g., conversations, monologues, settings with feedback strategies,
settings with conflicts, sign language interpreting).

Keynote presenters
Matthew Dye (Rochester Institute of Technology, USA)
Barbara Hager (University of Vienna, Austria)
Vadim Kimmelman (University of Bergen, Norway)

Languages
The conference languages will be International Sign/American Sign
Language (ASL) and English. Interpretation is provided between these
languages by Overseas Interpreting.

Call for Abstracts
We invite on-stage presentations (40-minute presentation, followed by
20-minute Q&A and discussion) on the expression of emotions in sign
languages. Also, junior researchers are particularly encouraged to
submit an abstract. A poster session will be a further platform to
meet and discuss.
Abstracts can be submitted in International Sign/ASL or written
English. Please note that the abstracts must not be anonymized.
Written abstracts should include the name(s) of the author(s)
following the title. Signed abstracts should start with the name(s) of
the author(s). The written abstract must not be longer than two pages
(one text page and a second page including tables, examples, and
references), in 12-point type, single-line spacing and 2,5 cm margins.
The signed abstract must be of a comparable length (approx. five
minutes). There is a maximum of two submissions per author, either one
as a single author and one as a joint co-author, or two as a joint
co-author. Please indicate whether your abstract is aimed at a
presentation or a poster.

Abstracts should be submitted to: ExEmSiLa at gmail.com
For written abstracts, please send a PDF. For signed abstracts, please
send a link to the downloadable video in MP4 format.
