Meeting Description:

The sixth meeting of the “Formal and Experimental Advances in Sign language
Theory” (FEAST) will take place at the University of Iceland, Reykjavík, June
21-22, 2017. 

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 and experimental approaches to sign
language grammar and their interaction.

Invited Speakers: 

Chiara Branchini, University of Venice
Joanna Atkinson, University College London


2nd Call for Papers:

Notice: the call for papers for the FEAST 2017 has been extended to January
20, 2017. 

We invite abstracts for oral presentations (30 + 10 minutes), as well as for
posters (posters are particularly welcome for contributions reporting
experimental work). The poster sessions will be preceded by a special session
in which each poster presenter will have 5 minutes to give a short
introduction to it.

Authors are asked to submit anonymous abstracts in pdf format through
EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=feast2017). 

The abstract should include the title and indicate whether it is intended for
an oral presentation or a poster. Abstracts should not exceed two pages
(including tables, examples and references) and they should be in 12-point
type with single line spacing and 2,5 cm. margins. Abstracts will be reviewed
by an external panel and the reviewing process will be double-blind. At most
two abstracts, one of which must be co-authored, can be submitted.
