The second lecture in our series of international guest lectures was delivered on 20.05.2020 by Mrs. Aline Meili in the form of a live lecture via online video conference. Two female interpreters interpreted from German into the DGS and vice versa.
Ms Meili (University of Zurich / University of Teacher Education FHNW) gave a lecture on "Zweitsprache: Schrift - Wenn gehörlose Gebärdensprachbenutzer/innen schreiben – Ein Einblick in Prozesse und (grammatische) Strukturen“ (Translation: "Second language: writing - When deaf sign language users write - An insight into processes and (grammatical) structures“.)
Around 45 students and employees of the IDGS gained a very good insight into the research results presented. Fortunately, the technology played along excellently, so that everyone was able to take the opportunity for subsequent discussion.
Many thanks to the speaker and all those present!
