Focus: Topics to be covered include: how to study speakers’ hand movements in terms of units of analysis and in terms of the forms these gestures take; how speakers refer to ideas through pointing and depiction; how manual gestures qualify what speakers say by indicating emphasis and different kinds of stance (perspectives); and how gestures fall along a range from more to less dependent on speech. The course will involve lectures as well as data analysis sessions each day to apply what has been covered in the lectures and in the readings.
