The LaCAM is proud to have participated in the RISE Ebooks project for sharing stories accessible to deaf children in different sign languages. 1/3

We worked on the adaptation of "SARA E SPUMOSO: COVID-19" which explains the coronavirus to children. The text and illustrations are by Sorit Gupto and the adaptation was made possible thanks to the courtesy of African Storybook Initiative. 2/3

We also kindly ask you to spread this questionnaire, it is very important for us to reach a lot of people.
Thank you so much for your collaboration!

We invite you to take part in our research project on LIS signs comprehension by hearing people that have no knowledge of that language.
We ask you to fill in an anonymous questionnaire (20min). Follow this link and read the instructions on the website: https://t.co/N6ZewuRiH9

Here it is! The summary in International Sign of our paper "The role of iconicity and simultaneity for efficient communication: The case of LIS" @olgacapirci @ozyurek_a https://t.co/u25d7SJzWd

[Multimodallang Dept @MPİ_NL @Multimodallang]

Here is a summary of our Cognition paper in İS !! Big thanks to @LACAMLab @olgacapirci @anitaslonimska and stay tuned for @GestureSignLab utube channel where we will gather all videosof our published work in diff signed and spoken langs and interviews @bkdalli @franciemanhardt

[Anita Slonimska, PhD @anitaslonimska]

I wish to say an immense thank you to all the participants as well as our deaf colleagues at
@LACAMLab who contributed in each step of the way. Without you, this project wouldn't be possible. As well a heartfelt thank you to @DCOMM_EU @MSCActions for funding this research.

I'm thrilled to share our freshly published paper with @olgacapirci and @ozyurek_a on the use of iconicity and simultaneity for efficient information encoding in LIS! It was long time coming!

[Prof. Asli Ozyurek @ozyurek_a @ozyurek_a]

Our paper (wt @anitaslonimska and @olgacapirci ) showing how modality specific properties of sign languages ( in LIS) as use of iconicity &simultaneous articulators enable efficient communication ( ala @LanguageMIT ) appeared today @Cognition - btw had a very pleasent review proc

[Multimodallang Dept @MPİ_NL @Multimodallang]

We also had a great skype presentation from @anitaslonimska follow up study to her Cognition paper: comparison of italian speakers silent gestures to italian sign language regarding role of iconicity & simultaneity (with @olgacapirci )

[Prof. Asli Ozyurek @ozyurek_a @ozyurek_a]

Thanks @DingemanseMark for this nice pitch - really the gist of that study and this message resonates in our recently in press paper in İtalian Sign Language in Cognition - use of iconicity and simultaneity for efficient coomunication with @anitaslonimska @olgacapirci

[Multimodallang Dept @MPİ_NL @Multimodallang]

Me @olgacapirci and @anitaslonimska have bern vclaiming such enacted usages indeed not for to be lively or entertaining but increases their communicative efficiency - paper in press in Cognition and one under review!!

With great regret we must announce that due to coronavirus alert, the Uni of Catania has just sent a notice that #SignCAFE2 Conference must be postponed. The new dates are yet to be decided (probably it could be the end of September/early October). We will keep you updated.

[Gerardo Ortega @ortega_ger]

LIS signers (adults-kids) favour specific predicates over general ones (pick vs take). They favour action-based signs (hand-as-hand) over other iconic forms. This aligns with our work on silent gesture& sign learning & on importance of actions representations in manual modality
