FEAST SignGram COST Conference in Venice (June 9-11, 2014): Announcement and Call for Papers

[Josep Quer]

The third meeting of the “Formal and Experimental Advances in Sign language
Theory” (FEAST) colloquium will take place at the University of Venice on
June 9-10-11, 2014. FEAST is the conference of the COST (European
Cooperation in Science and Technology) Action "Unraveling the grammars of
European sign languages: pathways to full citizenship of deaf signers and
to the protection of their linguistic heritage". For information about this
COST Action:

http://www.signgram.eu/



FEAST is a regular forum to discuss formal approaches to sign language
grammar (in particular in the generative tradition), experimental
approaches to sign languages, and their interaction.



The keynote speakers of Venice FEAST 2014 will be:



Rachel Mayberry (University of California San Diego)

Stephen  McCullough (San Diego State University)

Roland Pfau (University of Amsterdam)


Submissions are now invited for Venice FEAST.  Authors are asked to submit
their abstracts as e-mail attachments in .pdf format to the following
address: venicefeast at unive.it. Files should be anonymized.



We plan to have oral presentations (30 minutes + 10 minutes discussion) as
well as a poster session (posters are particularly welcome for
contributions reporting experimental work). The poster session will be
preceded by a special session in which each poster presenter will be
allotted 5 minutes to introduce the topic of his/her poster.


The anonymous abstract should include the title and indicate whether it is
intended for poster or oral presentation. The title of the paper, name of
the author(s), affiliation(s), surface mail address and e-mail address
should be included in the e-mail message. Abstracts should not be longer
than two pages in length (including tables, examples and references), in
12-point type, single line spacing and 2,5 cm. margins. Abstracts will be
reviewed by an external panel and the reviewing process will be
double-blind. At maximum two abstracts (one of which must be co-authored)
can be submitted.

 The languages of the conference will be English and ASL/IS. Interpreting
between ASL/IS and English will be provided.
