TISLR is organized by the Sign Language Linguistics Society (www.slls.eu), TISLR is held every three years and aims to familiarize the community with the latest advances in sign language research. Various domains are covered including phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, discourse, pragmatics, sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, language acquisition, and neurolinguistics. We welcome diverse theoretical perspectives and research that represents a wide variety of sign languages used all around the globe.
Submission Guidelines
Abstracts can be submitted in one of the following languages: English, American Sign Language (ASL), International Sign (IS), and German Sign Language (DGS). Please note that the abstracts must not be anonymized. Written abstracts should include the name(s) of the author(s) following the title. Signed abstracts should start with the name(s) of the author(s). The written abstract must not be longer than two pages (including tables, examples, and references), in 12-point type, single-line spacing and 2,5 cm margins. The signed abstract must be of a comparable length. There is a maximum of 3 submissions per author, either as single author or joint co-author.
List of Topics
TISLR 13 invites unpublished research from any theoretical perspective that addresses sign languages. Keynote presentations, organized sessions, and poster sessions will be included on such topics as:
- phonetics and phonology of sign languages
- prosody of sign languages
- morphology of sign languages
- syntax of sign languages
- semantics and pragmatics of sign languages
- the emergence of sign languages in a historical context
- sign language acquisition in L1/L2 environments
- bilingualism and multilingualism of sign languages
- sociolinguistic variation and change in sign languages
- neurolinguistics/psycholinguistics of sign languages
- sign language and artistic endeavours (including poetry and literature)
- computational modelling, recognition, and synthesis of sign languages
- sign language documentation/corpus linguistics
- the relationship between sign language and gesture
The program will have no parallel sessions. We plan to have approx. 30 signed/spoken presentations (20 minutes and 10 minutes discussion) and three poster sessions.
