*Call for papers FEAST 2017 (Reykjavík, June 21-22)*

The sixth meeting of the “Formal and Experimental Advances in Sign 
LanguageTheory” (FEAST) will take place at the University of Iceland, 
Reykjavík, June 21-22, 2017. 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 and experimental approaches to sign 
language grammar and their interaction.

Invited speakers:

Chiara Branchini, University of Venice

Joanna Atkinson, University College London

Authors are asked to submit anonymous abstracts as e-mail attachments in 
pdf format through EasyChair: 
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=feast2017

We plan to have oral presentations (30 minutes + 10 minutes discussion) as

well as a poster session. The poster session will be preceded by a 
special session where each presenter has 5 minutes to introduce his/her 
poster.

The abstract should include the title and indicate whether it is 
intended for an oral presentation or a poster. Abstracts should not 
exceed two pages (including tables, examples and references) and they 
should be in 12-point type with single line spacing and 2,5 cm. margins. 
Abstracts will be reviewed by an external panel and the reviewing 
process will be double-blind. At most two abstracts, one of which must 
be co-authored, can be submitted.

Conference dates: June, 21-22, 2017

Deadline for submission: January 15, 2017

Notification of acceptance/rejection: February 17, 2017
