Dear SLLING-Listers,

We would like to inform you that the deadline for abstracts for FEAST 2017
has been *extended to January 20th*, see call for papers below.


*Call for papers FEAST 2017 (Reykjavík, June 21-22)*

The sixth meeting of the “Formal and Experimental Advances in Sign
Language Theory” (FEAST) will take place at the University of Iceland,
Reykjavík, June 21-22, 2017. 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 and experimental approaches to sign language grammar and
their interaction.

Invited speakers:
Chiara Branchini, University of Venice
Joanna Atkinson, University College London

Authors are asked to submit anonymous abstracts as e-mail attachments in
pdf format through EasyChair:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=feast2017

We plan to have oral presentations (30 minutes + 10 minutes discussion) as
well as a poster session. The poster session will be preceded by a special
session where each presenter has 5 minutes to introduce his/her poster.

The abstract should include the title and indicate whether it is intended
for an oral presentation or a poster. Abstracts should not exceed two
pages (including tables, examples and references) and they should be in
12-point type with 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 most two abstracts, one of which must be co-authored, can
be submitted.


Conference dates: June, 21-22, 2017
*Extended deadline for submission: January 20, 2017*
