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

The SIGN-HUB and CNRS Summer School addresses theoretical and experimental
issues in sign language linguistics, sign language assessment and Deaf
history.



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 or (ii) are trained in formal
linguistics but are not yet familiar with sign language linguistics.



The summer school will take place at the scenic setting of Villa del
Grumello in Como from *June 11-15, 2018*.


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



This Summer School is the training school of the 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). For information about this project visit:

This event is part of a project that has received funding from the European
Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant
