Meeting Description:

Deictic Communication – Theory and Application

University of East Anglia, Norwich, United Kingdom
8th & 9th July, 2019 

Communication involves a combination of language and gesture that act in
concert (Tomasello, 2003; Kita & Özyürek, 2004). Deictic communication is
paradigmatic of communication, allowing speakers to use language and gesture
to refer, and direct the attention of a conspecific to an object/place in the
world (Bühler, 1934; Diessel, 2005; Levinson et al., 2018). In recent years
there has been much interest in deictic communication, including an emerging
empirical literature on spatial demonstratives (e.g. this/that in English),
increasing attention to deictic communication in typical and atypical
populations, and focus on deictic communication in application. The aim of
this conference is to bring together those working on deictic communication to
afford a timely snapshot of an important and emerging field.
