• Handling Discourse: Gestures, Reference Tracking, and Communication Strategies in Early L2 (2006, unknown): “In contrast to spoken strategies, however, determining what is interactionally intended gestural behavior can be investigated (cf. Holler & Beattie, 2003; Melinger & Levelt, 2004).”
• Do Iconic Hand Gestures Really Contribute to the Communication of Semantic Information in a Face-to-Face Context? (2009, background): “These two experimental features could easily have resulted in an over-estimation of the communicative effects of gesture (cf. Holler 2003; Holler and Beattie 2003).”
• The Effect of Common Ground on How Speakers Use Gesture and Speech to Represent Size Information (2007, result): “…examples of gesture use observed and described by Kendon (1985, 2004) supporting this theory, there has been corroborating experimental evidence (e.g., Alibali, Heath, & Meyers, 2001; Bavelas, Kenwood, Johnson, & Phillips, 2002; Beattie & Aboudan, 1994; Holler & Beattie, 2003; Özyürek, 2000, 2002).”
