On the basis of a discussion of recent research literature, students are made familiar with theories and methods of an area of topical interest in present-day linguistic research.

Ability to plan, carry out, analyze and reflect a peace of fieldwork.

Ability to handle and reflect different research methods in a critical way.

In this semester, the topic is the multimodal nature of spoken language. When we speak, we do not just produce sounds to convey our message: our movements, body posture, gaze behavior etc. contribute to communication as well.

In this seminar, we will focus on gesturem i.e. the movements we make while speaking and that play a role for communication. Among other things, we will discuss the following issues:´

- what is gesture? Which kinds of gestures are there?

- methodology of gesture studies, introduction to video annotation

- what and how does gesture contribute to communication?

- how does gesture interact with the verbal layer of expression?

Presentation, preparatory reading and discussions , 1-2 (short) presentation(s) about the literature and own work

Oral and written: preparatory reading, active participation in class, 1-2 (short) presentation(s); written exam (mid term), term paper
