(Lagos: 5:00-6:20 pm; Central Europe: 6:00-7:20 pm; Kyiv/St. P: 7:00-8:20 pm)
Over the 5 meetings of this seminar, we will examine sign languages from a broader linguistic perspective and explore how they change over time. We will also consider what studying sign languages and signers' communities reveals about language emergence, language universals, language acquisition, language disorders, and linguistic carework.
