Abstract
The aim of this special issue is to present and pursue the challenging discussions about the links between gestures and signs and their theoretical and methodological impact that took place during the GDR ADYLOC workshop (GDR CNRS 3195) on April 4–5 2014 at Sorbonne Nouvelle University in Paris. The ADYLOC research group (led by Maya Hickmann and financed by the CNRS between 2009 and 2015) assembled a large number of French specialists around the topic Languages, Oral Language and Cognition: Acquisition and Dysfunction. This setting favored high quality scientific exchanges that brought about new questions, opened new fields and lead to a number of collective research projects.
