David Quinto-Pozos, Danny Law, and I recently gave a presentation on sign language historical linguistics at the German Linguistics Society’s annual meeting. We participated in the working group Model and Evidence in Quantitative Comparative Linguistics. Our abstract and presentation can be viewed at the Sign Change project website.
