Title: Theoretical Issues in Sign Language 9
Body: From http://www.tislr9.ufsc.br December 6-9 2006 Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina Florianopolis, SC Brazil The theme of the 9th edition of TISLR is the development of sign language studies from the 1960s until today with a look at lines of research for the future. The conference title is: Sign Languages: spinning and unraveling the past, present and future. There will be presentations from the scholars who conducted the first sign language studies, as well as researchers who are indicating new directions for study. Giving continuity to previous editions, interlinguistic studies will be on the agenda, because they contribute to a delineation of the linguistic universals of the visual-spatial modality in relation to the oral-auditory modality.
