Meeting Description:

Sign language workshop at the 42. Annual Meeting of the German Linguistics
Society (DGfS).
Carol Padden (USCD, San Diego) will be one of the keynote presenters.

Invited workshop keynotes:
Diane Lillo-Martin (University of Connecticut)
Bencie Woll (UCL/DCAL)

Studies on bimodal-bilingualism contribute significantly to a better
understanding of linguistic diversity and its consequences for linguistic
theory. Questions that have been addressed pertain to similarities and
differences in the acquisition, processing and mental representation of
languages that use different modalities, on the one hand, and, on the other
hand, to the nature and role of cross-modal language contact phenomena in
different social settings. More recently, additional questions have been
raised against the backdrop of the increasing heterogeneity of the linguistic
profiles of bilingual signers, i.e. early or late learners of one or more sign
languages with varying degrees of access to the surrounding spoken
language(s). Diversity along these dimensions not only raises the question
about the competences attained by the individual signers, but also about the
impact on the evolution of the languages involved, be they emergent or
institutionalized sign languages. The broad objective of this workshop is to
explore linguistic diversity involving spoken and sign languages by bringing
together experts and younger researchers working in the field of bimodal
bilingualism. 

Organizers:

Barbara Hänel-Faulhaber, University of Hamburg
Carolina Plaza-Pust, University of Frankfurt
Markus Steinbach, University of Goettingen


Call for Papers:

Topics that will be addressed include but are not limited to linguistic
diversity as it relates to:

- language development in bilingual signers
- intra-modal and cross-modal language contact phenomena
- neurobiological aspects of bimodal bilingualism
- methodological aspects of bimodal bilingualism research
- consequences for linguistic theories
- language evolution in bimodal contexts
- didactics of bimodal bilingualism

Presentations will be 20 minutes + 10 minutes for discussion.
