Drawing on micro-ethnographic research in diverse interaction settings, this book explores the communicative ecologies in which hand-gestures appear: illuminating the world around us,… read more[Gesture Studies, 2] 2009. xii, 235 pp.
Social Order in Child Communication: A study in microethnography
Jürgen Streeck
‘Context’ is a concept for linguistic analysis which has rarely been subjected to close empirical scrutiny. This volume presents an attempt to investigate in microscopic detail various processes of contextualization by which children organize their interaction ‘frame by frame’, achieve, sustain,… read more[Pragmatics & Beyond, IV:8] 1983. vii, 130 pp.

2021 The emancipation of gestures Interactional Linguistics 1:1, pp. 90–122 | Article
Interactional linguists are interested in ways in which communicative resources emerge from interactional practice. This paper defines a place for the study of gesture within interactional linguistics, conceived as ‘linguistics of time’ (Hopper, 2015). It shows how hand gestures of a certain… read more

2018 Chapter 10. Times of rest: Temporalities of some communicative postures Time in Embodied Interaction: Synchronicity and sequentiality of multimodal resources, Deppermann, Arnulf and Jürgen Streeck (eds.), pp. 325–350 | Chapter
This chapter discusses how multiple time-scales intersect in a particular unit of embodied communicative action, body postures that are held for a moment (beyond the single sequence of talk). These time-scales are the immediate moment and its position within the unfolding interaction sequence; the… read more

This paper investigates how talk and practical action are coordinated during one type of activity involving professional communication: the service-assessment sequence in hair salons. During this activity, a practical inspection of the haircut must be coupled with sequentially produced verbal… read more
2015 Children’s interaction in an urban face-to-face society: The case of a South-American plaza Pragmatics and Society 6:3, pp. 305–337 | Article
This paper reports on a micro-ethnography of social interaction in an urban plaza in Colombia, focusing on the plaza’s role as an arena for the acquisition of interaction skills. We investigate how children of different ages initiate and sustain interactions with same-age and older peers and the… read more
2014 Mutual gaze and recognition: Revisiting Kendon’s “Gaze direction in two-person conversation” From Gesture in Conversation to Visible Action as Utterance: Essays in honor of Adam Kendon, Seyfeddinipur, Mandana and Marianne Gullberg (eds.), pp. 35–56 | Article
In “Some functions of gaze direction in two-person conversation,” Adam Kendon provided the first systematic account of the organization of gaze in conversational interaction, arguing that here gaze behavior serves the regulation of speaker- and listenership. Recently, Rossano (2012) has argued that… read more
2010 Ecologies of gesture New Adventures in Language and Interaction, Streeck, Jürgen (ed.), pp. 223–242 | Article
This chapter presents a heuristic of ways in which hand-gestures participate in communicative interaction. Rather than conceiving gesture as part of language, an ecological perspective is proposed, and gestures are examined both in relation to sequences of social actions and to the ecological… read more

2009 Depicting gestures: Examples of the analysis of embodied communication in the arts of the West Gesture 9:1, pp. 1–34 | Article
In “Depicting by gestures” (Gesture, 8 (3)), I have explored the methods by which hand gestures depict the world. Here I explore how gestures themselves are depicted. Many paintings and sculptures show human bodies in motion or showcase traces of body movements, including gestures of the hand. The… read more

2008 Depicting by gesture Gesture 8:3, pp. 285–301 | Article
This paper deals with ways in which gestural “pictures” are made, i.e., manual depictions of phenomena in the world. The view that “iconic” gestures uniformly function by way of some resemblance between signifier and signified is rejected, giving way to an understanding of depiction by gesture as… read more
