About the Series Editors
Erin Wilkinson is Associate Professor in the Department of Linguistics at the University of New Mexico. She has broad research interests in bilingualism and multilingualism, language documentation and description, language change and variation, signed language typology, and language planning and policy in highly diverse signing communities. Her current studies in collaboration with other researchers examine cognitive and linguistic processing in signing bilingual populations. She also explores what linguistic structures are re-structured over time in signed languages and what are possible factors that contribute to language change and variation in signed languages in the lens of usage-based theory.
David Quinto-Pozos is an Associate Professor in the Department of Linguistics at the University of Texas at Austin. His research interests include signed language contact and change, the interaction of language and gesture, L1 and L2 signed language acquisition, spoken-signed language interpretation, and vocabulary knowledge and literacy. He has served as an editor/co-editor of four volumes on signed language research, including Modality and Structure in Signed and Spoken Languages (Meier, Cormier, & Quinto-Pozos, eds. 2002; Cambridge University Press), Sign Languages in Contact (Quinto-Pozos, ed. 2007; Gallaudet University Press), Multilingual Aspects of Signed Language Communication and Disorder (Quinto-Pozos, 2014; Multilingual Matters), and Toward Effective Practice: Interpreting in Spanish-influenced Settings (Annarino, Aponte-Samalot, & Quinto-Pozos, 2014; National Consortium of Interpreter Education Centers).
