<h1><span lang="EN">Cross-modal typology workshop at iSLanDS<o:p></o:p></span></h1>
<p><span lang="EN">The International Institute for Sign Languages and Deaf Studies (iSLanDS) at the University of Central Lancashire in Preston, UK, is pleased to announce a workshop on cross-modal typology to be held on the afternoon of Wednesday 20 March
and the morning of Thursday 21 March 2013. At iSLanDS, we are beginning an exciting new phase of research in the typology of sign languages. As the next logical step up from Sign Language Typology, we have become interested in pursuing cross-modal typology,
which is the systematic comparative study of substantial samples of both signed and spoken languages in relation to particular grammatical domains.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN">The presentations at this workshop will be as follows:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN">• <strong>Sign languages, creoles, and the development of predication</strong><br>
<em>David Gil, Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, Leipzig, Germany</em><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN">• <strong>Reference grammars in signed and spoken languages: A case study from Ugandan Sign Language</strong><br>
<em>Sam Lutalo-Kiingi, iSLanDS and Kyambogo University, Kampala, Uganda </em><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN">• <strong>Considering theoretical and methodological foundations of cross-modal typology</strong><br>
<em>Ulrike Zeshan, iSLanDS</em><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN">• <strong>Semantic domains in sign languages: Typological data on number, colour and kinship</strong><br>
<em>Keiko Sagara and Nick Palfreyman, iSLanDS</em><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN">• <strong>Comparing apples and oranges: Multimodal aspects of cross-modal typology</strong><br>
<em>Mandana Seyfeddinipur, School of Oriental and African Studies, London</em><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN">• <strong>Cross-modal differences in the timing of talk</strong><br>
<em>Connie de Vos and Kang-Suk Byun, Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics, the Netherlands
</em><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN">The workshop is open to everyone, and there will be interpreting into spoken English and British Sign Language. If you would like to attend, please email Simeon Hart (</span><a href="mailto:SHart1@uclan.ac.uk"><span lang="EN">SHart1@uclan.ac.uk</span></a><span lang="EN">).
