> CALL FOR PAPERS

> Theoretical Issues in Sign Language Research Conference (TISLR 10)

> TISLR 10 invites papers addressing any aspect of research that is both
> theoretical and addresses sign languages. The theme of this conference
> "Research Methodologies in Sign Language Linguistics" highlights the fact
> that there are many different theoretical approaches that contribute to our
> understanding of this typological class of languages. Generative and
> cognitive approaches, quantitative and qualitative approaches all assist in
> proposing new generalizations about sign languages and, importantly, in
> independently validating previous proposals made in the field. Each approach
> provides a fresh perspective which can help our field move forward as a
> cumulative discipline.
>
> TISLR 10 will include keynote presentations, organized sessions, and poster
> sessions on such topics as:
> - cognitive linguistics of sign languages
> - corpus linguistics of sign languages
> - the emergence of sign languages in a historical context
> - field work on sign languages
> - language acquisition in L1 environments
> - language variation in sign languages
> - neurolinguistics/psycholinguistics of sign languages
> - phonology, phonetics, prosody of sign languages
> - morphology of sign languages
> - sign language and artistic endeavors
> - sign language and literature
> - sign recognition, synthesis, and understanding of sign languages
> - statistical language models of sign languages
> - syntax, semantics, pragmatics of sign languages
> - theoretical innovation in L2 acquisition of sign languages
>
> Keynote speakers:
> Marlon Kuntze (Boston University)
