Linguists to gather in Pittsburgh for national conference
Date:12/16/2010

The challenge for sign language researchers is to think about how captions, voice-over, slow motion and careful explanation can be used effectively to make the information fully accessible and of interest to a hearing non-signing audience.

Symposium: Maps and map-making in linguistic research
