This study is a preliminary investigation into the syntax of South African Sign Language. Utilising narrative data within a case study approach, signing is observed and analysed in terms of Radical Construction Grammar. An emphasis is placed on signs as form-meaning pairings, in which information of form is drawn from previous research on the phonology and morpho-syntax of signed languages. Meaning is explained within the same sphere, drawing on established literature regarding meaning in signed

Certain papers, namely, Chapters 3, 4, 5, 9, 10 & 11 in the volume specific
We are pleased to invite researchers to contribute to the Workshop "NLP tools and methods for diachronic lexical semantics" that will take place as part of the LLcD2026 conference (December 2026, Aix-en-Provence, France). The focus of the Workshop is on diachrony and lexical semantics, addressing two questions: (1) does the performance of NLP tools vary depending on the historical period and language considered? (2) when are manual or semi-automatic annotations more reliable than NLP methods?

European countries differ considerably in how they organise the school-based integration of NAMS: while some favour direct inclusion in mainstream classrooms from the outset, many employ separate or preparatory instructional settings in which newly
