Sixth Conference of the International Society for Gesture Studies: Gesture 
in Interaction


Dear colleagues,

The International Society for Gesture Studies (ISGS) is pleased to announce 
the Sixth Conference of the International Society for Gesture Studies: 
Gesture in Interaction. It will be held on the campus of the University of 
California, San Diego, July 8-11, 2014. *The deadline for abstract 
submission is November 15, 2013.*

The conference website is: isgs.ucsd.edu

Devoted to the study of multimodality in communication, the ISGS is an 
interdisciplinary group of researchers including anthropologists, cognitive 
scientists, computer scientists, linguists, neuroscientists, psychologists, 
and semioticians. The Society convenes for a major international conference 
every two years, and the 2014 meeting will be the 6th.

We invite abstracts that address any aspect of the study of gesture and 
multimodality, including but not limited to: the relationship between sign 
and gesture; the cognitive and neural underpinnings of gesture; the 
contribution of gesture to language production and comprehension; the role 
of gesture in situated language use; and how gesture mediates interaction 
in the social, cultural, and technological world. We welcome papers on any 
aspect of bodily communication and are open to all theoretical and 
disciplinary perspectives.

*Plenary Speakers*

    Herbert Clark, Stanford University
    Susan Wagner Cook, University of Iowa
    Marjorie H. Goodwin, UCLA
    Marianne Gullberg, Lund University
    Asli Özyürek, MPI Nijmegen and Radboud University

*Abstract Submission*

We invite abstracts of no more than 500 words. Abstracts must report 
previously unpublished work. Three kinds of presentation are available:

Paper presentations: Paper presentations will be 25 minutes, with 20 
minutes for presentation and 5 minutes for discussion.

Thematic Panels: Papers that address a common theme may be submitted as a 
Thematic Panel. Panels should consist of four talks, which must be 
submitted individually as Paper Presentations. Each individual abstract 
should indicate the name of the proposed Thematic Panel.

Poster presentation: Poster presentations are an opportunity for more 
extended interaction. Posters will be displayed during poster sessions,
