On 25 July 2023, Nina-Kristin Meister and Thomas Finkbeiner from the University of Göttingen visited us in Hamburg to systematically discuss specific multifunctional signs. After initial clarifications and examples from teaching and research of which functions different signs can take on, we jointly evaluated data from the DGS corpus. At lunch we continued debating.
A day entirely in DGS and in the spirit of participatory linguistic research, the results of which will ultimately flow back into DGS teaching. Thanks to all participants for a really productive workshop and a great start into an interesting working group.
