Guest: Judith Holler, On the role of visual bodily signals in coordinating face-to-face interaction
Welcome to the weekly IMS seminar!
This week we are visited by Judith Holler (on Zoom), who will give a presentation titled On the role of visual bodily signals in coordinating face-to-face interaction.
About the seminar
In this talk, I will focus on how visual bodily signals, in particular manual speech-accompanying gestures and facial signals, are involved in coordinating communication in conversational face-to-face interaction. I will shed light on their role with respect to some core building blocks of semantic and pragmatic communication in human interaction, with a focus on both behaviour and cognition.
With these two theory papers as background reading:
