>FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT TISLR 2000
>Seventh International Conference on Theoretical Issues in Sign
>Language Research Amsterdam
>July 23rd - July 27th 2000
>
>GENERAL INFORMATION
>The organisation of the TISLR 2000 conference is a joint effort of people
>from different Institutions and Universities in The Netherlands. The
>Scientific Committee consists of people from both inside and outside The
>Netherlands
>
>Conference Theme
>The conference theme is: Crosslinguistic insights: how similar are sign
>languages?
>Research in the past has often focused on the similarities and differences
>between sign and spoken languages. However, over the years
>international research has produced a wealth of information about
>individual sign languages. Especially as this will be the first time that
>TISLR is organised in Europe, it seems to be an appropriate point at
>which to begin looking at the similarities and differences among different
>sign languages.
>

>Travelling to Amsterdam
>Schiphol International Airport, located about 15 kilometres (10 miles)
>from the centre of Amsterdam, has direct scheduled connections to many
>cities in the world. Since Schiphol Railway Station is located in the
>arrival/departure building of the airport, the centre of Amsterdam can be
>reached easily by train in approximately 20 minutes (? 2,84). Amsterdam
>is also conveniently linked to many European cities by rail. The
>Netherlands' excellent motorway network connects with all the major
>trans-European routes. Please note that long term parking on public
>streets in the centre of Amsterdam is nearly impossible and extremely
>expensive.
>
>AMSTERDAM
>Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, is a small city by European
>standards (population 750.000) but one of the most charming and
>delightful towns of Europe. It possesses the largest historical inner city
>of Europe, with beautiful monumental buildings and an extensive web of
>canals. The city can easily be explored on foot: museums, theatres,
>shopping streets, monuments, open air markets and most other features
>of interest are generally within walking distance of one another. The city
>is famous for its 17th century canals: a boat trip along the canals is a
>very special experience.
>Amsterdam is one of the leading cultural centres of Europe, with a high
>concentration of famous museums, for example, the Rijksmuseum, the
>Stedelijk Museum, the Van Gogh-museum and the Anne Frank house.
>Other touristic attractions include the Diamantslijperijen (diamond
>cutting establishments), and the Rembrandt House.
>
>Congress venue
>The congress will be held in two buildings in the centre of Amsterdam:
>the Auditorium of the Universiteit van Amsterdam, Singel 411, and the
>Oudemanhuispoort, in Amsterdam. Both locations can be reached easily
>by public transport or on foot.
