Meeting Description:

The fifth meeting of the “Formal and Experimental Advances in Sign language
Theory” (FEAST) colloquium will take place at the University of Venice on
September 1-2, 2016. For the coming four years, FEAST is the official
conference of the research project “The Sign Hub: Preserving, Researching and
Fostering the Linguistic, Historical and Cultural Heritage of European Deaf
Signing Communities with an Integral Resource” (2016-2020) funded by the
European Commission within the Horizon 2020 programme.

FEAST is a regular forum to discuss formal approaches to sign language grammar
(in particular in the generative tradition), experimental approaches to sign
languages, and their interaction.  

Although there is no registration fee, people who plan to attend the
conference are asked to inform the organizers by sending an e-mail to:

the topic of his/her poster.

intended for poster or oral presentation. The title of the paper, name of the
