Gesture-Sign Workshop Prague 2019

16-18 May 2019

Charles University, Prague

https://calc.ff.cuni.cz/en/gesture-sign-ws/

The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers who share the focus on multimodality but come from different areas. In particular, its goal is to provide an opportunity for a discussion between

• gesture researchers and sign linguists

• researchers who work with experimental (or generally quantitative) methods and those who approach the of multimodality qualitatively

Talks will be given by invited speakers – both gesture researchers and sign linguists. Alongside keynote and guest talks, posters will be presented on both days of the workshop. The workshop programme will be concluded by a general discussion.

Keynote speakers:

Gerardo Ortega (University of Birmingham)

Cristóbal Pagán Cánovas (Universidad de Murcia)

Pamela Perniss (Universität Köln)

Jürgen Streeck (University of Texas)

Discussant:

Jan P. de Ruiter (Tufts University)
