Meeting Description:
The VALORIA Lab at l'Université de Bretagne-Sud, Vannes, France is proud to host the Signed Language Phonology Workshop, Vannes, France, July 6-8, 2011
One half day will be devoted to the Mini-workshop on ‘Phonetic Annotation Templates for Technology: Challenges Encountered and Novel Solutions’.
We invite researchers interested in the phonetics and phonology of signed languages to come discuss current trends in the areas of notation and analysis.
Registration is free.
Organizing Committee:
Kyle Duarte
Sylvie Gibet
Call for Papers:
We are looking for 3-4 presentations of 20-30 minutes that discuss the use of technology for the phonologist/phoneticist. They will serve as discussion topics for the group, and should respond to these and similar questions:
- How have you designed your annotation template for ELAN, Anvil, or similar software to fit best with your needs for phonological annotation and analysis?
- How do software functions/features facilitate your phonetic annotation or analysis?
- And to a lesser extent, what additions or modifications would you like to see to technology to aid your annotation or analysis?
Submissions can be made at the workshop website, http://www-valoria.univ-ubs.fr/signcom/SLPW/ by June 3, 2011.
This workshop will be conducted in English and either American Sign
Language (ASL) or International Sign (IS). Deaf participants should
indicate their preference for interpretation when registering for the workshop.

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.
Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
