in the gradual processes of linguistic expression and discourse that characterise our everyday interactions? Which cognitive processes are activated or enabled during such interactive episodes, and how do these processes help people collaborate to achieve
communicative and interpersonal goals in social and professional communication? The theme “Bringing into being” provides the opportunity to address this encounter between multimodality and cognition in interaction. This specialized seminar will therefore be
a forum for sharing analyses, discussing findings, and building theories relevant to several fields, including but not limited to gesture studies, multimodal interaction, face-to-face spoken/signed discourse, cognitive linguistics and cognitive science.</span></font></span></font></div>
