With the Future Behind Them: Convergent Evidence From Aymara Language and Gesture in the Crosslinguistic Comparison of Spatial Construals of Time (2006, background): “Cienki (1998a) argued further that because the gestural track communicates information that can be complementary to (rather than overlapping with) the linguistic track (Goldin-Meadow, 2003; Goldin-Meadow & Alibali, 1999; Kendon, 2000, 2004; McNeill, 1992), aspects of metaphoric cognitive processin”
The Missing Bodies of Mathematical Thinking and Learning Have Been Found (2012, background): “What is mostly lost is the critical importance of analyzing gesture (a) as one among and amid many modal resources for producing meaning and action within in interaction ( Goodwin, 2000 ; Stevens & Hall, 1998 ), (b) as “recipiently designed” within interaction for communication and pedagogy ( Kendo”
A new look at infant pointing. (2007, background): “Many of the most important gestures humans useFfor example, for greeting or leaving, for threatening or insulting, for agreeing or disagreeingFare also socially learned, intersubjectively shared, symbolic conventions that vary across cultures in much the same way as linguistic symbols (Kendon, 2004;”
Beyond Words: Using Nonverbal Communication Data in Research to Enhance Thick Description and Interpretation (2013, background): “…considering the analysis of nonverbal communication processes as ecologically fused into and virtually inseparable from linguistic expression in human interactions has been well established (e.g., Bull, 2002; Jones & LeBaron, 2002; Kendon, 2000, 2004; Knapp & Hall, 2010; Manusov & Patterson, 2006).”
Functions of the Nonverbal in CMC: Emoticons and Illocutionary Force (2010, result): “This picture is consonant with recent research into the interrelations between gesture and language (Kendon, 1995, 2004; McNeill, 1992, 2005).”
On-line Integration of Semantic Information from Speech and Gesture: Insights from Event-related Brain Potentials (2007, background): “Finally, it has been shown that the spontaneous use of gestures has a similar function as speech (e.g., Kendon, 2004; Melinger & Levelt, 2004; Özyürek, 2002), namely, to communicate the intended message to the addressee.”
Handling Discourse: Gestures, Reference Tracking, and Communication Strategies in Early L2 (2006, neutral): “Gestures, defined as the (mainly manual) movements speakers perform unwittingly while they speak (cf. Kendon, 1986, 2004; McNeill, 1992), are closely and systematically related to language and speech.”
Why do gestures matter? Sensuous cognition and the palpability of mathematical meanings (2009, background): “…of decline until a new impetus arose, in part as the result of attempts at teaching chimpanzees to use a kind of Sign Language, as well as the spread of a renewed interest in understanding the origins of language (Deacon 1997; Kendon 2004; Savage-Rumbaugh and Lewin 1994; Tomasello and Call 1997).”
Communicative Constructivism and Mediatization (2013, background): “The relation of Goffman to Conversation Analysis has been quite confrontational (Goffman, 1981) whereas gesture studies of Kendon (2004) quite plainly build on his approach.”
