Hi Valerie and
friends ...       Congratulation
Adam to be one of the presenters ... This is great!   Stefan  

    We are pleased to
announce a workshop titled _Building sign language corpora in North
 America_ .  Purpose of
workshop: There are many definitions of a language corpus. One such definition
offered by McEnery, Xiao and Tono (2006) is a collection of texts in a given
language that is representative, comprehensive, accessible, machine-readable
and searchable. There are several ongoing language corpora projects focused on
the documentation of sign languages in countries like Australia , The Netherlands, the United Kingdom and Germany . To date, there have been
several workshops in Europe on various aspects
of building a sign language corpus (e.g., the SLCN series of workshops co-
organized by Onno Crasborn and colleagues). This workshop will provide a much
needed opportunity for researchers based in the US 
and Canada 
to share experiences from their work in this area, as well as share ideas for
future projects.  Program
