First Call for Papers

After Poznań in Poland, Bielefeld in Germany and Tilburg in the Netherlands, the fourth edition

of GESPIN will be held in Nantes, France. GESPIN is an international conference on how

gesture and speech work together to achieve various goals. This edition will focus especially on

“combined units of meaning in gesture and speech”. The following issues may be of particular

interest:

· Mapping of units in different semiotic modes

· Overlapping of units across modalities

· Affordances and relevance of different unit types

· Multimodal models of cognition

· Transliteration of units

· Gesture and speech in development

· Gesture and speech in dialogue

· Multimodal language learning and teaching

Yet, papers on all other topics related to the combination of speech and gesture are welcome as

well. We also invite proposals for tutorials and hands-on data sessions. Papers and tutorial reports

will be published online.
