A <strong>title</strong> and <strong>description</strong> of your proposed session.<br>2. The <strong>amount of time</strong> you would like for your session. Each time slot is 1.5 hours, so it would be possible for
you to have one or two time slots for your session (1.5 or 3 hours).<br>3. A <strong>list of confirmed speakers</strong> who will present at your session, along with titles and <strong>brief descriptions</strong> of each talk. You are free to organize the time allotted to your session in the way you think best. We suggest that each talk be allotted 30 minutes— 20 minutes for the talk, followed by 10 minutes of discussion and questions. This means 3 speakers for each 1.5 hour time slot.</span><div><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#5C5C5C" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px;"><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#5C5C5C" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px;">TITLE Role Switching in ASL.

Using Sutton Sign Writing, a session examining two biographical narratives on Clerc and L'Epee and their seminal roles in the development of ASL. As the signer presents, her body posture shifts for not only the persons but the locations of each phase of the narrative. Using the lane feature of Sutton Sign Writing, a complete narrative can be transcribed which demonstrates non-manual markers such as head nods and change of posture for establishing nominative phrases, change of subject, geographical locations and time switches which are well established features of ASL. Video narrative and transcribed ASL. Presentation of each narrative 10 minutes, discussion of transcription 20
minutes, Q&A 15 minutes. </span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#5C5C5C" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px;"><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#5C5C5C" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px;"> </span></font></div></div></td></tr></table>
