<p class=MsoNormal>The First SignTyp Conference on the phonetics and phonology
of sign languages will be held from June 26 to 28, 2008, at the
University of Connecticut at Storrs. The conference will be devoted to
theoretical aspects of sign languages, specifically in phonetics and
phonology. Although the conference is now closed for talks, posters
may still be submitted up to June 1, 2008. <span style='color:black'>Further
information may be found at <a

<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>The conference is supported by a
NSF grant (BCS-0544944) the aim of which is to establish a crosslinguistic
sign phonology and phonetics database. Van der Hulst and Channon are the
principle investigators on this project.<span class=MsoHyperlink><span
