[Josep Quer]

*SIGN-HUB and LABEX Summer School in Sign Language Linguistics*

*Gargnano (Garda Lake, Italy), 8-12 May 2017*


The SIGN-HUB Summer School 2017 addresses theoretical and experimental
issues in sign language linguistics including research in the domains of
the phonology, morphology, syntax and semantics of sign languages.

*Students*

The summer school is open to master students, graduate students and junior
researchers who:

   -  (i) already have familiarity with sign language research but are not
   trained in formal linguistics
   - (ii) are trained in formal linguistics but are not yet familiar with
   sign language linguistics.

In order for the two groups of students to work fruitfully together in the
classroom, a list of preparatory readings will be provided before the
summer school starts.

The summer school will take place at the scenic setting of *Palazzo
Feltrinelli*
<http://www.gargnanosulgarda.com/events-lake-garda/Palazzo-Feltrinelli-uk.html>
in
Gargnano (Garda Lake, Italy) from May 8-12, 2017.

The languages of the Summer School will be *English* and *ASL/IS*.
Interpreting between ASL/IS and English will be provided.
