plenary speakers. Another plenary speaker will be announced later.

Call for Papers:

Postgraduate students and postgraduate researchers are invited to present
work in progress on sign language linguistics, deafness, cognition and
related fields. This one-day conference aims to provide a forum to bring

their findings. Multidisciplinary work is particularly encouraged. The
conference aims to cover the following areas:

- Sign language linguistics - sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, phonology
- Gesture
- Bimodal bilingualism
- Sign language interpreting
- Sign language acquisition / development by deaf and hearing children and
adults
- Neurolinguistic research on sign language processing

The conference will include presentations of papers, posters and plenary talks.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as 
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These 
donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return 
(U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact 
your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match 
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your 
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the 
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple 
administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without 
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company 
operates such a program.
