Conference announcement: From Hand to Mouth: A dialogue between spoken and signed language research

[Tobias Haug]

Dear all 

We would like to make you aware of the international conference ‘From Hand to Mouth: A dialogue between spoken and signed language research’ which will take place Sept. 5 – 7, 2013 at the University of Zürich.  The purpose of the conference is to further a discussion of linguistic concepts and methodology based on a comparison of research in oral and signed languages. 

The conference pairs lectures on specific themes by spoken and signed language researchers who are all internationally well-known in their fields. Each pair of lectures will be followed by a moderated ‘synthesis’ session in which the lecturers will discuss the research similarities and differences in their fields.

The official languages for the conference are English and International Sign.

Further information (also in Swiss German Sign Language, DSGS, and International Sign) can be found on the conference website

 http://www.hand-to-mouth.uzh.ch/index_de.html.

We hope we will be able to welcome some of you to Zürich in September!

With best greetings,

 The Conference Organising Committee

Penny Boyes Braem, Alexandra Bünzli, Miriam Dittmar, Sarah Ebling, Tobias Haug, Agnes Kolmer, Sabine Stoll
