Tatjana Scheffler19/ Anastasia Bauer is presenting a corpus driven approach to signs/gestures that share a form / 3rd day of the #ViCom annual meeting #visualCommunication
They report comparisons of head nods, head shakes, and “palm up open hand” (one of the most frequent manual gestures) across sign languages and also across modalities (eg between spoken German and DGS)
20/ Lisa-Marie Krause is talking about pointing and uncertainty resulting from the different viewpoints of the pointer and observer #ViCom

22/ Martin Schulte-Rüther is researching visual communication in clinical applications #ViCom
23/ The Multis project is presenting on their work on prosody and co-speech gesture #ViCom
They’re looking at gestural and prosodies focus in Catalan and German #ViCom
Gesture and speech are closely aligned, eg in that the apex of a pointing #gesture occurs at the same time as the highest speech prominence (a pretty amazing feat as gesture movements are much slower than speech movements - so humans are great at aligning these different actions)
