July-December 2023 | Microdiachrony in endangered languages across modalities
This project focuses on two endangered languages in different modalities: Catalan Sign Language (LSC, Catalonia) and Griko (Italiot- Greek variety of Salento, Southern Italy). This project i) explores how diachronic change in a relatively small time span can be detected, described and accounted for (microdiachrony), and ii) creates research resources in the form of two corpora that include transcribed and annotated data to make the study of grammatical change feasible.

2014 - present | Catalan Sign Language Corpus
This project, started in 2012 by the Institut d'Estudis Catalans, aims at creating the first comprehensive corpus of Catalan Sign Language. This corpus will document the current state of LSC by registering data from signers of different ages and gender from different territories of Catalonia. The final goal is to create a tool for linguists, LSC educators, and any other LSC user. Moreover, based on this corpus a lexical data base is being built, which will be the first comprehensive lexical data base of LSC.
2023 - present | CEFR-LSC
This project is led by the Catalan Government (Generalitat de Catalunya). It aims at developing Catalan Sign Language (LSC) competence levels according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.
