Meeting Description:

The seventh meeting of the “Formal and Experimental Advances in Sign language
Theory” (FEAST) colloquium will take place at the University of Venice on June
18-19-20, 2018. 

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.

Invited speakers will be:

Meltem Kelepir (Boğaziçi University)
Carlo Geraci (Institute Jean-Nicod)
Luca Des Dorides (Istituto Statale Sordi di Roma)
Krister Schönström (Stockholm University)

The official languages of the conference will be English and ASL. Interpreting
between ASL and English will be provided.


Call for Papers:

We plan to have oral presentations (30 minutes + 10 minutes discussion) as
well as a poster session (posters are particularly welcome for contributions
reporting experimental work). The poster session will be preceded by a special
session in which each poster presenter will be allotted 5 minutes to introduce
the topic of the poster.

Abstracts should be submitted in pdf format through the FEAST 2018 Venice
Easychair page: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=feast7

Files should be anonymized.

Video submission in IS or ASL are allowed (maximum length 5 minutes). Those
who would like to submit a video in sign language should contact the
organizers (venicefeast at unive.it).

The anonymous abstract should include the title and indicate whether it is
intended for poster or oral presentation. Abstracts should not be longer than
two pages in length (including tables, examples and references), in 12-point
type, 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 maximum two abstracts (one of which must be co-authored)
can be submitted.

Conference dates: June, 18-20 2018
Deadline for submission: February 18, 2018
Notification of acceptance/rejection: March 26, 2018
