4TH CONFERENCE OF THE INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR GESTURE STUDIES



"GESTURE - EVOLUTION, BRAIN, AND LINGUISTIC STRUCTURES"

Deadline for submissions: December 15th, 2009


The International Society for Gesture Studies (ISGS) announces its
fourth conference, Gesture, Evolution, Brain, and Linguistic
Structures, to be held July 25-30, 2010, in Frankfurt/Oder (near
Berlin). The thematic foci are: linguistic, semiotic and pragmatic
approaches to human gestural communication with a special focus on
cognitive linguistic perspectives, possible evolutionary precursors,
and neural correlates of gestures. A major goal is to provide a
platform to discuss both specific research questions within these
areas and interdisciplinary approaches connecting these distinct areas
of gesture research.

Plenary speakers are:

Josep Call
Alan Cienki
Susan Goldin-Meadow
Georg Goldenberg
Adam Kendon
David McNeill
Roland Posner
Sherman Wilcox

We invite submissions from all areas of gesture research. Individual
papers, panels, and poster talks can be submitted through the
conference website until December 15th, 2009 (deadline has been
extended).
