We found that focus in TID is not only realized as duration increase in focused signs, but also as duration decrease in the extended domain. Sign languages use different domains (manual and nonmanual) to mark focus yielding crosslinguistic patterns.

Duration as a prosodic cue in TİD: Focus realization in the extended domain
Prosodic prominence of focused units reflected through a variety of cues, is well documented in all modalities. Yet, the effect of focus in the extended domain is understudied in sign languages. This ...

About historic relatedness of sign languages, @crathmann.bsky.social ‘We see these route, but these languages are significantly different. It is not just enough to say that LSF is the story. It’s part of a much more complex dynamic.’ #TISLR15

I don’t know who is in charge of the zoom meeting at #TISLR15, but you are missing the questions coming from the zoom meeting. I hope this gets fixed in the next sessions to have better equality and accessibility.

Someone recommended this book on inclusion in linguistics to me. It’s available Open Access so I thought I’d share. It features contributions from many, including the late Jon Henner. Worth a look! academic.oup.com/book/56194

It looks like we still got work to do for equity!
Ok!! After reviewing many applications for ECR large scale projects and seeing recommendation letters I notice that letters for women focus more on personality traits that intellectual merit and achievements than for men 😩😩 letter writers and reviewers take note!!!
