From Gesture in Conversation to Visible Action as Utterance: Essays in honor of Adam Kendon
Edited by Mandana Seyfeddinipur and Marianne Gullberg
Language use is fundamentally multimodal. Speakers use their hands to point to locations, to represent content and to comment on ongoing talk; they position their bodies to show their orientation and stance in interaction; they use facial displays to comment on what is being said; and they engage… read more[Not in series, 188] 2014. ix, 379 pp.
Gestures in Language Development
Edited by Marianne Gullberg and Kees de Bot
Gestures are prevalent in communication and tightly linked to language and speech. As such they can shed important light on issues of language development across the lifespan. This volume, originally published as a Special Issue of Gesture Volume 8:2 (2008), brings together studies from different… read more[Benjamins Current Topics, 28] 2010. viii, 139 pp.

2022 Why Second Language Acquisition of sign languages matters to general SLA research Second Language Acquisition of Sign Languages: Acquisition d'une langue des signes comme langue seconde, Schönström, Krister and Chloë Marshall (eds.), pp. 231–253 | Article
SLA research is characterised by a striking homogeneity in the linguistic, social and geographical data we as a field draw on. Such empirical homogeneity is a potential threat to the validity and scope of our models and theories. This paper focuses on a particular gap in our knowledge, namely… read more

2013 Developmental perspectives on the expression of motion in speech and gesture: A comparison of French and English Grammaticalization and First Language Acquisition: Crosslinguistic perspectives, Bassano-Bonhommo, Dominique and Maya Hickmann † (eds.), pp. 129–155 | Article
Recent research shows that adult speakers of verb- vs. satellite-framed languages (Talmy, 2000) express motion events in language-specific ways in speech (Slobin 1996, 2004) and co-verbal gestures (Duncan 2005; Kita & Özyurek 2003; McNeill 1992). Although such findings suggest cross-linguistic… read more
2012 Probing the linguistic encoding of placement and removal events in Swedish Events of Putting and Taking: A crosslinguistic perspective, Kopecka, Anetta and Bhuvana Narasimhan (eds.), pp. 167–182 | Article
This paper explores the linguistic encoding of placement and removal events in Swedish. Drawing on elicited spoken data, it provides a unified approach to caused motion descriptions. The results show uniform syntactic behaviour of placement and removal descriptions and a consistent asymmetry… read more

Recent research shows that adult speakers of verb- vs. satellite-framed languages (Talmy, 2000) express motion events in language-specific ways in speech (Slobin 1996, 2004) and co-verbal gestures (Duncan 2005; Kita & Özyurek 2003; McNeill 1992).

2009 Reconstructing verb meaning in a second language: How English speakers of L2 Dutch talk and gesture about placement Annual Review of Cognitive Linguistics: Volume 7, Ruiz de Mendoza Ibáñez, Francisco José (ed.), pp. 221–244 | Article
This study examines to what extent English speakers of L2 Dutch reconstruct the meanings of placement verbs when moving from a general L1 verb of caused motion (put) to two specific caused posture verbs (zetten/leggen ‘set/lay’) in the L2 and whether the existence of low-frequency cognate forms in… read more
2008 Gestures and some key issues in the study of language development Gestures in language development, Gullberg, Marianne and Kees de Bot (eds.), pp. 149–179 | Article
The purpose of the current paper is to outline how gestures can contribute to the study of some key issues in language development. Specifically, we (1) briefly summarise what is already known about gesture in the domains of first and second language development, and development or changes over… read more
2006 What speakers do and what addressees look at: Visual attention to gestures in human interaction live and on video Pragmatics & Cognition 14:1, pp. 53–82 | Article
This study investigates whether addressees visually attend to speakers’ gestures in interaction and whether attention is modulated by changes in social setting and display size. We compare a live face-to-face setting to two video conditions. In all conditions, the face dominates as a fixation… read more

1999 Keeping an eye on gestures: Visual perception of gestures in face-to-face communication Pragmatics & Cognition 7:1, pp. 35–63 | Article
Since listeners usually look at the speaker's face, gestural information has to be absorbed through peripheral visual perception. In the literature, it has been suggested that listeners look at gestures under certain circumstances: 1) when the articulation of the gesture is peripheral; 2) when the… read more
1996 Gesture as a Communication Strategy in Learners of French and Swedish EUROSLA 6: A selection of papers, pp. 63–73 | Article
Three native speakers of Swedish learning French and three native speakers of French learning Swedish were asked to retell a cartoon both in their first and second language, and their use of gesture as a communication strategy was investigated.
