Call for papers FEAST 2017 (Reykjavík, June 21-22)

The sixth meeting of the “Formal and Experimental Advances in Sign language Theory” (FEAST) will take place at the University of Iceland, Reykjavík, June 21-22, 2017.

FEAST is the official conference of the research project “The Sign Hub: Preserving, Researching and Fostering the Linguistic, Historical and Cultural Heritage of European Deaf Signing Communities with an Integral Resource” (2016-2020), funded by the European Commission within the Horizon 2020 programme. FEAST is a regular forum to discuss formal and experimental approaches to sign language grammar and their interaction.

Invited speakers:

Chiara Branchini, University of Venice
Joanna Atkinson, University College London

Authors are asked to submit anonymous abstracts as e-mail attachments in pdf format through EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=feast2017

We plan to have oral presentations (30 minutes + 10 minutes discussion) as well as a poster session. The poster session will be preceded by a special session where each presenter has 5 minutes to introduce his/her poster.

The abstract should include the title and indicate whether it is intended for an oral presentation or a poster. Abstracts should not exceed two pages (including tables, examples and references) and they should be in 12-point type with single line spacing and 2,5 cm. margins.

Abstracts will be reviewed by an external panel and the reviewing process will be double-blind. At most two abstracts, one of which must be co-authored, can be submitted.

 

Conference dates: June, 21-22, 2017
Deadline for submission: January 15, 2017
Notification of acceptance/rejection: February 17, 2017
