Rf02: Gesture and the Construction of Mathematical Meaning
نویسندگان
چکیده
The role of gestures in mathematical thinking and learning is examined from the perspectives of cognitive science, psychology, semiotics and linguistics. Data from situations involving both children and adults, addressing mathematical topics including graphing, geometry, and fractions, are presented in the context of new theoretical frameworks and proposals for the analysis of gesture, language, signs and artefacts.

Introspective Study of Emotion Icon in Public Chat as a Gesture of Texting
An emotion icon, better known as emoticon is a metacommunicative pictorial representation of a facial expression that, in the absence of body language and prosody, serves to draw a receiver's attention to the tenor or temper of a sender's nominal verbal communication, changing and improving its interpretation. The present study investigates the use of these nonverbal cues in whatsapp public cha...
متن کاملAn Analysis of Persian Compound Nouns as Constructions
In Construction Morphology (CM), a compound is treated as a construction at the word level with a systematic correlation between its form and meaning, in the sense that any change in the form is accompanied by a change in the meaning. Compound words are coined by compounding templates which are called abstract schemas in CM. These abstract constructional schemas generalize over sets of existing...
متن کاملCross-Modal Grounding of Meaning
The current study investigates how the speaker grounds meaning for a referent by gestural repetition along with speech in daily conversation. The domain of analysis is the stretch of talk that encompasses the beginning and the end of the joint action during which a pair of similar gestures is produced by different speakers across turns to depict the same referent. A particular cross-modal groun...
متن کاملGesture and its impact of resolving lexical ambiguity
The study aimed to shed light on the use of gesture in resolving lexical ambiguity employed by TEFL students. To this end, 60 intermediate Iranian learners, studying at Kish Way Language School in Iran were recruited. The participants were randomly put into two experimental groups and one control group. Both of the experimental groups received the same teaching approach, i.e. teaching homonyms ...
متن کاملIntegration of Speech and Deictic Gesture in a Multimodal Grammar
In this paper we present a constraint-based analysis of the form-meaning mapping of deictic gesture and its synchronous speech signal. Based on an empirical study of multimodal corpora, we capture generalisations about well-formed multimodal utterances that support the preferred interpretations in the final context-of-use. More precisely, we articulate a multimodal grammar whose construction ru...
