Qi will be presenting a talk entitled ‘Processing and anatomical outcomes when early language input is insufficient: evidence from deaf individuals with early language deprivation’ at a SNL symposium co-organized with Dr. Marina Bedny (JHU), ‘Plasticity in a language-ready brain: complementary evidence from developmental deafness, blindness, and varied language experience across modalities’, on Oct. 6, at the Loews Philadelphia Hotel. Here is the link to the symposium: https://www.neurolang.org/symposia/?id=29

Qi will also present a poster on the ASL mismatch responses in MEG, co-authored with Dr. Christina Zhao (UW SPHSC), ‘Localizing visual mismatch responses in American Sign Language (ASL) using MEG’, at the same venue on October 8, 3:15 pm EDT.

Qi, Monica, and Karen are presenting a poster on the ASL animacy vs. word order study at the 14th International Conference on Theoretical Issues in Sign Language Research (September 27-30, 2022). The conference will happen in Oasaka, Japan, but we will be presenting virtually. The title of the presentation is: ‘When animacy overshadows word order in sentence comprehension: The case of late first-language acquisition of American Sign Language’.
