Meeting Description: 

The Valoria Lab at l'Université de Bretagne-Sud, Vannes, France is proud 
to host the Signed Language Phonology Workshop, Vannes, France, July 
6-8, 2011

One half day will be devoted to the Mini-workshop on 'Phonetic Annotation 
Templates for Technology: Challenges Encountered and Novel Solutions'.

We invite researchers interested in the phonetics and phonology of signed 
languages to come discuss current trends in the areas of notation and 
analysis.

Registration is free.

Organizing Committee:

Kyle Duarte
Sylvie Gibet 

Wednesday, July 6, 9:00 - 18:00
- Robert E. Johnson, building on previous presentations at phonetics 
workshops held in Orsay, France, June 2008, November 2008, and May 
2009, will offer a short review and detailed update of the notation system he 
and Scott Liddell have been developing.

Thursday, July 7, 9:00 - 17:00
- Mini-workshop on phonetic annotation and technology: challenges 
encountered and novel solutions. Participants interested in giving short 
presentations of how they have used software for annotation or analysis are 
invited to submit an abstract.
- Mini-workshop on sign analysis: participants' data. All participants are 
asked to bring interesting phonetic or phonological examples from their data
(difficult-to-annotate hand configurations; phonological processes, for 
example from surrounding signs; complex sign asynchronicity or asymmetry; 
etc.).

Friday, July 8, 9:00 - 12:30
- Mini-workshop/challenge in groups: 20-second video annotation. 
Participants will be provided with a 20-second video clip and will be asked to 
annotate their data according to the Liddell and Johnson phonetic notation 
system. Results will be compared and discussed.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and 
as such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a 
registered 501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-

sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information 
visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will 
match any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails 
your contacting your human resources department and sending us a form 
that the EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is 
generally a simple administrative procedure that doubles the value of your 
gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment 
to check if your company operates such a program.
