CALL FOR PAPERS

Special issue of the journal 'Lingua' on Sign Language Classifiers

Guest editors: Gary Morgan & Bencie Woll (City University, London)

Scope of the Issue:

There has been much interest in the linguistic description of
classifiers in sign languages in recent years.  An understanding of
the polymorphemic structure ofconstructions involving classifiers,
their use in syntax, and their role in encoding topographic
information have been central areas of research.  The aim of this
special issue is to address these and related questions with
particular emphasis on linguistic or psycholinguistic analyses.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

*   Syntactic analysis of classifiers
*   Semantic analysis of classifiers
*   Cross-linguistic comparison of classifiers
*   The role of clasifiers in discourse
*   First language acquisition of classifiers
*   Language impairment and classifiers

Abstracts for proposed manuscripts (not more than 1000 words) should
be sent to Gary Morgan, as below before December 1st 2003.

Authors of accepted abstracts will be asked to submit a full
manuscript conforming to the editorial requirments of the journal
'Lingua' by April 1st 2004.  All manuscripts will be peer reviewed by
