  • Reports on emerging sign language linguistics in regions without substantial previous research on sign languages.
  • International sign language research cooperation (bi- and multilateral, models, networks, implementation).
  • Sign language research tools, technologies and methodologies (e.g. corpus, transcription tools, databases, fieldwork resources)

  • Sign language interpreting and related issues.

Special session: Sign Language, Linguistics and Deaf communities in Turkey.

  • New developments, emerging research, and their impact on Deaf communities
  • Government policies and Deaf advocacy on sign language recognition and linguistic rights of Deaf people

  • Research and regional cooperation in Turkey.

 

B. Workshops

 

Workshops can relate to any of the above topics in any of the three sessions. Submissions must demonstrate clearly that there will be an interactive element in the workshop, which will involve the workshop participants. This can include activities such as hands-on training, panel discussion, guided group work, interactive demonstration sessions, and the like. Sessions consisting of a presentation-style format only are not acceptable as workshop submissions and should be submitted as presentations.

 

We encourage submissions by groups of people, but submissions by individuals are possible. Submissions for double slots (2 hours) should specify the structure of the workshop (e.g. 30 minutes introductory presentations, 60 minutes hands-on training, 10 minute break, 20 minutes participant feedback).

 

SUBMISSION guidelines

 

SLOTS for presentations in all sessions are 50 minutes (presenters should aim at 40 minutes presentation and 10 minutes questions/discussion). Slots for workshops are either 50 minutes (single slot) or 2 hours (double slot).

 

CONFERENCE LANGUAGES are International Sign (IS) and Turkish Sign Language (Turk Isaret Dili, TID); the languages of written communication are English and Turkish. Presentations must be in International Sign or in Turkish Sign Language. Prospective participants who are not fluent in IS or TID should contact the organising committee (yusufk@gazi.edu.tr) about the availability of voiceover interpreting for the audience.

 

SUBMISSIONS should be in International Sign or Turkish Sign Language. If you are unable to submit a signed abstract, e.g. for technical reasons, we can exceptionally accept your abstract in English or Turkish. Submissions are limited to two abstracts per person as single and/or joint author. Submission options are:

 

a) Send a video submission of max. 5 minutes in International Sign or Turkish Sign Language as email attachment to sign5@uclan.ac.uk

b) Use a web-based service such as yousendit or dropbox to share your video file with sign5@uclan.ac.uk
