This Thursday (April 7, 1-2 pm EST), we will host Tory Sampson, from the Department of Linguistics at the University of California, San Diego. She will tell us all about her ongoing research titled "Exploring SELF: A copula in American Sign Language.”

The language across modalities discussion group provides a space for students, faculty, and community members to discuss research that spans the modes of human communication -- speech, sign, gesture, and more. Our group meets to discuss research articles and to informally present ongoing research.

Meetings are conducted in ASL and English with ASL-English interpreting and automated Zoom captions. Participants are expected to follow our Community Norms (linked below). Zoom passcode: lingamod
