In the series "International Sign Language Research: Current Discussions" we again had an international guest on our computer screens in our home offices on Wednesday, 17.06.20.
The renowned sign language linguist Prof. Elisabeth Engberg-Pedersen from the University of Copenhagen, Department of Nordic Studies and Linguistics, gave an online lecture on "Expressions of Epistemic Modality in Danish Sign Language and Japanese Sign Language". Many sign language videos also gave a vivid insight into the data.
Numerous staff members and students took part in the interesting lecture and the subsequent question and answer session, which was held in English and interpreted into DGS.
We would like to thank the speaker and all those present!
