On October 23, 2024, we had a visit from Pia Gehlbach, employee at the Georg-August-University Göttingen and doctoral student in the Experimental Sign Language Laboratory there. She gave a lecture on the topic of “Iconic structures in German Sign Language (DGS)”. Pia Gehlbach presented various projects in which she is involved and explained what structural iconicity is and how it occurs in different sign groups. Despite the fall vacations and sunny weather, the lecture was well attended.
