2024 Four-year-olds’ visuospatial cognitive abilities and their relation to observer‑viewpoint gestures across three communicative tasks Pragmatics & Cognition 31:1, pp. 49–96 | Article
The gesture-as-simulated-action framework explains the occurrence of iconic gestures. Accordingly, simulated visual imagery gives rise to observer-viewpoint, whereas simulated motor imagery gives rise to character-viewpoint gestures. Because little is known about whether this relationship is… read more
2017 Chapter 12. Computational gesture research: Studying the functions of gesture in human-agent interaction Why Gesture?: How the hands function in speaking, thinking and communicating, Church, Ruth Breckinridge, Martha W. Alibali and Spencer D. Kelly (eds.), pp. 267–284 | Chapter
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
2016 Mapping out the multifunctionality of speakers’ gestures Gesture 15:1, pp. 37–59 | Article
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… read more
2013 Automatic and strategic alignment of co-verbal gestures in dialogue Alignment in Communication: Towards a new theory of communication, Wachsmuth, Ipke, Jan de Ruiter, Petra Jaecks and Stefan Kopp (eds.), pp. 87–108 | Article
Spontaneous co-verbal gestures are one means for speakers to align with each other and coordinate their interaction. 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
2013 Introduction: Why a new theory of communication? Alignment in Communication: Towards a new theory of communication, Wachsmuth, Ipke, Jan de Ruiter, Petra Jaecks and Stefan Kopp (eds.), pp. 1–10 | Article
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
