Call for Papers
At this point, the call for papers has not yet officially been issued. Please stay tuned while the Organising Team is finalising the call. Once the call for papers has officially been issued it will also be announced on the typical channels (e.g., The LINGUIST List and other specialist e-mail lists).
Workshop Description
This workshop aims to bring together researchers from linguistics, psychology, and neuroscience to explore the relationship between theoretical approaches to sign language and psycho- and neurolinguistic studies. The goal is to determine the extent to which current theories can accurately capture the unique characteristics of sign languages, which offer a distinct perspective on human language capacity. The workshop will discuss how different formal descriptions and theoretical approaches relate to sign language processing and language processing in general, and how research on sign language grammar has impacted our understanding of spoken languages and the human language capacity. Key topics of interest include the impact of iconicity, the role of non-manual components in sign languages, and how psycho- and neurolinguistic studies on sign languages can inform our theoretical understanding of grammar.
