STOCKHOLM UNIVERSITY
Stockholm University (SU) is home to Sweden’s most substantial research within science and human science, as well as the home of a number of internationally prominent research environments. Research in sign language has been carried out at the Department of Linguistics since 1972. Much of the current research focuses on sign language structure, lexicography and corpora for sign language, particularly Swedish Sign Language. A related development has been the availability of systems for fine-grained, searchable annotation of videos with signing. Other research issues are language acquisition of deaf children, language assessment, language teaching, multilingualism in deaf, deaf refugees, language acquisition of hearing second language learners. There is also a BA program in sign language interpreting.
