[Slling-l] Call for papers FEAST 2016 (Venice, September 1-2)

[Josep Quer]

*Call for papers FEAST 2016 (Venice, September 1-2) *

The fifth meeting of the “Formal and Experimental Advances in Sign language
Theory” (FEAST) colloquium will take place at the University of Venice on
September 1-2, 2016. For the coming four years, FEAST is the official
conference of the research project “The Sign Hub: Preserving, Researching
and Fostering the Linguistic, Historical and Cultural Heritage of European
Deaf Signing Communities with an Integral Resource” (2016-2020) funded by
the European Commission within the Horizon 2020 programme.



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.



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.

Conference dates: September, 1-2, 2016

Deadline for submission: May 9, 2016

Notification of acceptance/rejection: June 20, 2015
