Subject: Signing Mind Seminar Series


We are pleased to announce the Signing Mind Seminar Series. The series
features researchers whose work is relevant to the overall topic of
how sign language lexicons are organized in form and meaning, with a
special focus on the methodology of free/word associations. The series
will include presentations on both signed language research and spoken
language research that uses methodologies or analyses that can inform
work on sign languages.
The series will consist of around six on-line presentations throughout
the year. The Seminar languages are English and International Sign
(with interpreting between both). Presentations will typically be on
Monday afternoons (European Time), though this schedule depends on the
speaker's availability and time zone. Presentations will be recorded
and made publicly available. Links to attend presentations via Zoom
will be sent out via the Signing Mind mailing list (link below).
The series is part of a joint collaboration between two projects:
SemaSign led by Hope Morgan at the University of Hamburg and SIGNifica
led by Brendan Costello the BCBL (Basque Center on Cognition, Brain
and Language). Both projects examine the semantic network of the sign
language lexicon by collecting free association data in different sign
languages.
The first presentation will be by Zed Sevcikova-Sehyr (Cognition,
Language and Plasticity Lab, Chapman University, USA) on Monday, 19th
May at 17h (CEST; UTC+2). The presentation title is:
"It’s a Small World” of Signs: Semantic Network Structure in American
Sign Language
