In July, a workshop on the topic of “Expressing Emotions in Sign Languages” will take place at the IDGS. This workshop will bring together research on this topic from different perspectives and disciplines. The study of the expression of emotions in the visuo-spatial modality does not only cover a wide range of linguistic areas (e.g. parts of speech, facial expressions, rendering, iconicity, irony), but also a variety of communicative situations (e.g. conversations, monologues, settings with feedback strategies, settings with conflict, sign language interpreting). All information and updates about the workshop is available on its website.
