* ORAlity and GEstuality *
**************************

Aix-en-Provence (France)
June 18 - 22, 2001
International conference

ORAGE 2001 is in straight line with the ORAGE' 98 conference - ORAlit‚
et GEstualit‚ - Communication Multimodale, Interaction, Santi S.,
Gua‹tella I., Cav‚ C., Konopczynski G. (eds), 1998, l'Harmattan, Paris.
Its objective is to promote the importance of a multimodal approach in
the study of communication. The major theme of this meeting is the use
of voice and gestures in the management of interactive time and space.
The emergence of this set of topics and the increasing research in
gestural and vocal studies led to the foundation of the GeVoix
association which is co-organizing this conference with the Laboratoire
Parole et Langage (CNRS ESA 6057) at the Universit‚ de Provence.
