It was a pleasure to present some of my findings on deinitialization in ASL at #HDLS15 this year and meet so many awesome folks in the field!

Last block of talks at #HDLS15! @TwitchPaul tells us about factors affecting demonstrative use in ASL. Seems that recent theories developed for spoken language demonstratives dont exactly work for description of ASL demonstratives

Safe to say that #HDLS15 has been one for the books! Great fun and grateful for all of the conversations, *and backchannels* that I’ve had thus far!

Did you know that there are over 80 cultures that have developed whistled versions of their language? In this piece experts David Díaz Reyes and Julien Meyers explain how whistled communication works, and geographic commonalities of these communities:

I think what is special about #HDLS13 is the accessibility isn't limited to talks and Terps. There are many hearing & deaf researchers and community members who sign, so there is networking and idea sharing, lunches, and dinners. But it's not only a conference about SLs

Lepic: ASL studies of compounds da have been overly restricted. Signers have various strategies for borrowing English compounds into ASL with fingerspelling being very common. Important to look at what signers do #usagebased #linguistics @ryanlepic

Panel: Linguistic Studies of Bilingualism in the Deaf Community: Morford: Maybe we need to rethink how we are researching and talking about deaf bilinguals and consider the multiple sensory motor processes involved in language acquisition and processing #HDLS13 #HDLS

Norma Mendoza-Denton talks about making work accessible to the public. It's one thing to have specialized knowledge, and it's great if there is a specialized community who can read that, but there are a lot more folks who could benefit that aren't academics #HDLS13

Excellent discussion of gestural constructions. I especially enjoyed the analysis of meaningful recombinant components of gestures. Foregrounding interactional meanings with gesture and speech: The English joint action construction
