Review of research on gesture

[Everett, Daniel]

Dear Freek,

Thanks so much for this. I was very much hoping to learn about other work and receive comments on the gesture paper, or simply gesture more generally, when I posted the link to my gesture review,.

I will definitely look at Steven’s work. Sounds fascinating - as do some of the other books and papers people have been mentioning, such as Sherman Wilcox’s new book.
