 The Language-Gesture Connection / Oulu, Finland

Host Institution: University of Oulu
Coordinating Institution: University of Oulu
Website: http://cc.oulu.fi/~poh/language-gesture_connection.html

Dates: 22-Oct-2015 - 24-Oct-2015
Location: Oulu, Finland

Focus: Gesture is not an add-on to language. Rather, language and gesture are integrated and synchronised elements of everyday interaction; they represent two sides of the same communicative process. This seminar is prompted by the recent emergence of interdisciplinary research focusing on the connection between language and gesture. It focuses on the relationship and connection between language and gesture in social interaction, and in particular on how linguistic forms and gestures are integrated in speech production, and how utterance and interaction meanings are derived from speech-gesture combinations.

This international seminar is open to all scholars, researchers and Ph.D. students interested in language, interaction and gesture. We encourage scholars working with less-researched languages to also participate in and bring their video data to the seminar. 

Workshop activities: 

- Plenaries by the invited guests
- Data sessions in which participants have the opportunity to present their video data to be discussed and analysed together. 
The aim of data sessions is to help presenters progress their research or to identify and discuss potential new findings. Therefore, it is not necessary to present final results or special research foci.  
- Collaborative article workshops in which the participants discuss and work together on the basis of four pre-assigned articles on the seminar theme.
