Intersign: Sign Linguistics and Data Exchange (INTER)

Summary

Sign languages are natural, full-fledged languages with a grammatical structure that is comparable to that of spoken languages. However, research into their structure in Europe is still a recent development. This network aimed at developing standards and guidelines for the study of (European) sign languages at all levels of language description, including the way these languages are acquired. 

Duration

Three years from 1997 to 2000
