Call for Abstracts
Extended Deadline (Video in International Sign)
The deadline for our Call for Abstracts for the workshop Expressing Emotions in Sign Languages has been extended. The new deadline is March, 22nd, 2024.
Call for Abstracts (Video in International Sign)
In this workshop, we aim at bringing together research on the expression of emotions in sign languages from different perspectives and disciplines. Investigating the expression of emotions in the visual-spatial modality covers not only a wide range of linguistic areas (e.g., parts of speech, facial expressions, demonstrations, iconicity, irony), but also a variety of communicative situations (e.g., conversations, monologues, settings with feedback strategies, settings with conflicts, sign language interpreting).
Keynote presenters:
Matthew Dye (Rochester Institute of Technology, USA)
Barbara Hager (University of Vienna, Austria)
Vadim Kimmelman (University of Bergen, Norway)
The conference languages will be International Sign/American Sign Language (ASL) and English. Interpretation is provided between these languages by Overseas Interpreting.
Call for Abstracts
We invite on-stage presentations (40-minute presentation, followed by 20-minute Q&A and discussion) on the expression of emotions in sign languages. Also, junior researchers are particularly encouraged to submit an abstract. A poster session will be a further platform to meet and discuss.
Abstracts can be submitted in International Sign/ASL or written English. Please note that the abstracts must not be anonymized. Written abstracts should include the name(s) of the author(s) following the title. Signed abstracts should start with the name(s) of the author(s). The written abstract must not be longer than two pages (one text page and a second page including tables, examples, and references), in 12-point type, single-line spacing and 2,5 cm margins. The signed abstract must be of a comparable length (approx. five minutes). There is a maximum of two submissions per author, either one as a single author and one as a joint co-author, or two as a joint co-author. Please indicate whether your abstract is aimed at a presentation or a poster.
Abstracts should be submitted to: ExEmSiLa@gmail.com
For written abstracts, please send a PDF. For signed abstracts, please send a link to the downloadable video in MP4 format.
