Re: [Deaf Arab] Re: المؤتمر الدولي الرابع لأبحاث علم لغويات اللغات المؤشرة

أخوتي وأخواتي أعضاء مجموعة الصم العرب

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

أحببت تذكيركم بالمؤتمر الدولي الرابع للغة الإشارة والذي سيقام في نيو دلهي - الهند في الفترة ١٧ - ١٩ ديسمبر  ٢٠٠٩ م وسيكون هناك ورشة عمل تسبق المؤتمر في ١٦ ديسمبر. فعلى الراغبين في خضور المؤتمر سرعة التسجيل

رابط المؤتمر

Sign4
http://www.uclan.ac.uk/iscri/islands/sign4announce2009.php

برنامج المؤتمر يتضمن ثلاث محاور رئيسية:

١. علم لغويات اللغات المؤشرة
٢. تعليم الصم ، ثقافة الصم ، مجتمع الصم
٣. جلسة خاصة: لغة الإشارة ، علم اللغويات ، ومجتمعات الصم في جنوب آسيا

هذا المؤتمر سنوي ويقام للمرة الأولى خارج أوروبا وباذن الله سيتنقل في بقية الدول ويهدف لتشجيع الدول التي لم توثق لغاتها المؤشرة على البدء بتوثيق لغاتها ومساعدتها في المشروع وتمكين الأشخاص الصم في الدول النامية. والأولوية في استضافة المؤتمر هي للدول التي لم توثق لغاتها المؤشرة.

أي دولة عربية ترغب باستضافة هذا المؤتمر العلمي الهام يمكنهم الاتصال بالدكتورة أولرايك زيشان مديرة مركز دراسات الصم ولغة الإشارة في جامعة
University of Central Lancashire (UCLAN)
Preston, UK
