Call for Paper:

Research in Sign Linguistics in the past several decades has enabled us to begin to unravel the properties of sign languages as natural languages, with all the complexity and expressive powers found in spoken languages. The ‘Conference on Sign Linguistics, Deaf Education and Deaf Culture in Asia’, held in 2001 marked the beginning of an era of sign language research in Asia. Now, a decade later, it is time to take stock of the progress and the development of this field. Towards this end, the Conference on Sign Linguistics and Deaf Education in Asia aims at providing a forum for sign language researchers who work on Asian sign languages to share their research and to exchange information about the situation for sign linguistics and sign language research in their respective countries and regions. In addition, this conference aims at examining the development of models of deaf education in Asia that include sign language.  Papers of the following areas related to Sign Linguistics and Deaf Education in the Asian context are welcome:
