Review of research on gesture

[Freek Van de Velde]

Hi Dan and others,
I must admit that I haven't kept close tabs on the thread on gesture on FUNKNET lately, but if you adhere to the Heine & Kuteva (2007) view that grammaticalization and the evolution of language are linked, then the investigation of the role of gesture in language evolution can maybe benefit from a paper by my colleague-next-door that has just been published online (today, actually): 
Schoonjans, Steven. 2013. 'Is gesture subject to grammaticalization?'. Studies van de BKL/Etudes du CBL 8. (http://uahost.uantwerpen.be/linguist/SBKL/Vol8.htm).
He is defending his PhD on gesture later this month.
A happy coincidence, that I gladly use as an excuse to promote Steven's work.
All the best,

Freek Van de Velde
