Conference “Typology of Small-scale multilingualism” 2 rego still open! bit.ly/3qFFRkA My area is that of vernacular multiling in PNG, so looking forward to learning more about sign languages as part of multilingualism, as well as ssml vitality, policies and ideologies

Off to a great start today with #ssml2! Foundational, biographical, and inspiring points from @RuthJSinger and Pierpaolo Di Carlo.

Phenomenal keynote by @AnneliesKusters calling for more ethnolinguistic research to better understand how signers (deaf and hearing) use multilingual resources in real settings. Important lessons for us Psycholinguists who tend to use native monolinguals as baseline #ssml2

Our first team paper "Concepts and methods for integrating language typology and sociolinguistics" is out! Here we outline the GramAdapt project rationale and design in brief. Thank you to the Societa di Linguistica Italiana Proceedsings: bit.ly/3nyEwMZ
