Chapter 5. Can pantomime narrate? A cognitive semiotic approach Perspectives on Pantomime, Żywiczyński, Przemysław, Johan Blomberg and Monika Boruta-Żywiczyńska (eds.), pp. 115–138 | Chapter
2024 Adopting the conceptual-empirical loop of cognitive semiotics, we define narrative as a three-part structure consisting of Narration, Story and Event-sequence and primary narrativity as the process of interpreting a narrative from the former to the latter two. We distinguish between simple… read more

On the direction of cross-linguistic influence in the acquisition of object clitics in French and Italian Language, Interaction and Acquisition 8:2, pp. 204–233 | Article

In the present study, we investigate whether placement errors of third person singular OCLs may be due to cross-linguistic influence. We… read more
Multimodal-first or pantomime-first? Communicating events through pantomime with and without vocalization Interaction and Iconicity in the Evolution of Language, Hartmann, Stefan, Michael Pleyer, James Winters and Jordan Zlatev (eds.), pp. 465–488 | Article
2017 A persistent controversy in language evolution research has been whether language emerged in the gestural-visual or in the vocal-auditory modality. A “dialectic” solution to this age-old debate has now been gaining ground: language was fully multimodal from the start and remains so to this day.… read more
