nonmanual articulators. Nonmanuals express a variety of important linguistic
functions and they</span><span lang="EN-US"> play a </span><span lang="EN-US">crucial
role at all levels of the grammar of sign languages: sign languages use lexical
facial expressions, various </span><span lang="EN-US">kinds of morphosyntactic
nonmanual markers as well as nonmanuals expressing prosodic and
semantic-pragmatic functions. Linguistic nonmanual markers typically develop from
nonmanual gestures used in hearing and deaf communities. <a name="_GoBack"></a>The
visual-manual modality of sign languages offers the unique possibility of
integrating and grammaticalizing nonmanual and manual gestures since </span>gestures
use the same articulatory channel that is also active in the production of
signs<span lang="EN-US">. By contrast, nonmanuals in
spoken languages can only be used as co-speech gestures.</span></div><div style="margin-top: 0.1pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.1pt; margin-left: 0cm; "><span lang="EN-US"><br></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0.1pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.1pt; margin-left: 0cm; "><span lang="EN-US">We welcome submissions addressing </span><span lang="EN-US">formal and
