Gesture: a Psycholinguistic Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
As a field of study, gesture has become energized in recent years. There is now an organization (International Society for Gesture Studies) and a journal (GESTURE, Adam Kendon and Cornelia Müller, founding editors). In preparing this article, I have aimed to balance the empirical basics of gestures with a theoretical perspective from which to regard gestures and see what insights they bring to an understanding of the nature of language.

متن کاملThe Catchment Feature Model for Multimodal Language Analysis
The Catchment Feature Model (CFM) addresses two questions in multimodal interaction: how do we bridge video and audio processing with the realities of human multimodal communication, and how information from the different modes may be fused. We discuss the need for our model, motivate the CFM from psycholinguistic research, and present the Model. In contrast to ‘whole gesture’ recognition, the ...
متن کاملGesture and Speech Multimodal Conversational Interaction
Gesture and speech combine to form a rich basis for human conversational interaction. To exploit these modalities in HCI, we need to understand the interplay between them and the way in which they support communication. We propose a framework for the gesture research done to date, and present our work on the cross-modal cues for discourse segmentation in free-form gesticulation accompanying spe...
