Are you interested in language and cognition? Do you need additional research skills training? Is the language of deaf people your area of interest?
This summer school will examine linguistic, psycholinguistic and neuroscience approaches to the research area of language of deaf people. We have assembled leading deaf and hearing academics in the field who will provide training on a variety of topics relating to language and cognition of deaf people focussing on research methods, data collection and analysis techniques for the following topics:
- fieldwork with deaf communities and sign languages
- creating and using video and annotation software
- linguistic analysis of video-recorded language data with ELAN
- corpus approaches
- neuroimaging and psycholinguistic methods to study language processing, language acquisition, reading in deaf people with a range of language experiences, including atypical signers (e.g. developmental disorders, stroke, dementia and autism)
