Meeting description
Organized by the Sign Language Linguistics Society (www.slls.eu), TISLR is held every three years and aims to familiarize the community with the latest advances in sign language research. Various domains are covered including phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, discourse, pragmatics, sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, language acquisition, and neurolinguistics. We welcome diverse theoretical perspectives and research that represents a wide variety of sign languages used all around the globe.
It is our honor to announce that the four invited presenters at TISLR13 are Prof. Dr. Ronice Quadros (Brazil), Dr. Jordan Fenlon (UK), Prof. Dr. Gladys Tang (Hong Kong) and Prof. Dr. Karen Emmorey (USA).
TISLR 13 will last three days including invited talks, paper presentations and several poster sessions. The conference will also host the SLLS General Meeting.
Conference languages are German Sign Language, American Sign Language, International Sign and English. CART services (in English) will be provided as well.
