Dear sign language scholars,
This important conference has been publicized on the Linguist List. Please
note that Professor Ceil Lucas, from the Department of Linguistics, at
Gallaudet University, is one of the keynote speakers. It is the first time
in the history of the ISB that sign language studies have been highlighted
this way.
In case you still haven't submitted your colloquia proposals and/or
abstracts for individual papers or posters, please note the deadlines,
which are not far away. Please do inform any colleagues who may be unaware
of the conference.
Hope to see you in Oslo next June!
Kind regards,
Arnfinn M Vonen, University of Oslo (member of the local organizing
committee)
