Linguistic Field(s): General Linguistics; Language Acquisition; Language Documentation; Linguistic Theories; Neurolinguistics; Pragmatics 

Call Deadline: 31-Jul-2020 

Call for Papers: 

This edition of Revista Linguí∫tica is dedicated to the study of sign
languages. When looking at the literature on the Brazilian sign language
(Libras), especially linguistic descriptions, one of them stands out among the
others: ''Por uma Gramática de Língua de Sinais'' by Lucinda Ferreira de
Brito, published in 1995. While more recent work yields important
contributions, the insights presented in Ferreira (1995) remain current and
insightful. Upon completing 25 years, the work, out of print, is in need of
commemoration given its breadth of themes and description. Within this scope,
we enphasize contributions to this edition in the areas of linguistic
description, linguistic experimentation (psycholinguistic or neurolinguistic),
sociolinguistics, and corpus linguistics, among others, as long as there is
dialogue with sign languages or the deaf population. The purpose of this
edition is to articulate the current discussion with what was produced in the
seminal work of one of the first linguists who studied Brazilian sign
languages. Thus, we will have an overview of the research carried out with
sign languages and the advances and obstacles since the pioneering of Lucinda
Ferreira.

We also welcome contributions from studies in the wide range of topics within
linguistics on different theoretical approaches given that they discuss data
on sign languages.

Suggested topics (may be included, but not limited to this list of
suggestions):
- Studies exploring corpora for synchronic or diachronic language description
- Studies exploring language universals, issues on modality and others
- Experimental studies: psycholinguistics or neurolinguistics
- Ethnographic studies
- Field work
- Studies exploring language acquisition and language learning
- Early and late language acquisition (impact of age of acquisition)
- Multimodal language processing
