Abstract Embodied artificial agents, like humanoid robots or virtual characters, can produce a variety of co-speech gestures in interactive settings. This enables a computational branch of gesture research that offers opportunities for (1) investigating production and comprehension… read more

Although it is widely acknowledged that gestures are complex functional elements of human communication, many current functional classification systems are rather rigid, implicitly assuming gestures to perform only one function at any given time. In this paper, we present a theoretical view on the… read more

In this chapter we review current empirical findings of this phenomenon and propose two kinds of partner-specific adaptations of gesturing in dialogue: Automatic alignment that… read more

Alignment in Communication is the theme of a novel direction in communication research, which focuses on interactive adaptation processes assumed to be more or less automatic in humans. Originating from an international workshop organized at Bielefeld’s Center for Interdisciplinary Research (ZiF),… read more
