Lectures will cover different methodological approaches in sign language studies, such as first and second language acquisition, language description and documentation, language typology, sociolinguistics, interpreting / translation studies and sign language ethnography, deaf studies, etc. There will also be three evening presentations, a panel discussion on the use of International Sign Language, four poster sessions and a day excursion.
