Abstract
Italian Sign Language (LIS) has been studied and taught in universities for more than twenty years. Some university research projects result in dissertations, which often remain confined to university databases. This edited volume aims at giving prominence and visibility to particularly deserving theses developed in the Master’s Program in Language Sciences at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice. The selected contributions delve into some under-investigated linguistic phenomena in LIS and explore interlinguistic and intermodal contact phenomena between LIS and Italian.
