Course Title:
Spoken Language and Gesture
Course Number:
L_ETBACIW204
Course Description:
The course concerns several themes, which are
interrelated with each other. One has to do with how we structure our
talk and our co-verbal behavior as units on different levels of
complexity. Another is how we use both speech and gesture to express not
only our ideas about the physical world and abstract concepts (both
describing and depicting them), but also our stances towards these
ideas. This brings us to the point that face-to-face interaction with
speech and gesture can involve alignment and adaptation in real time of
our ideas, our attitudes towards those ideas (our “positions”, in
different senses of that word), and our ways of expressing them.
