Zhu, Weihua – Multilingua: Journal of Cross-Cultural and Interlanguage Communication, 2017

Gullberg, Marianne – Second Language Research, 2010
Gestures, i.e. the symbolic movements that speakers perform while they speak, form a closely interconnected system with speech, where gestures serve both addressee-directed ("communicative") and speaker-directed ("internal") functions. This article aims (1) to show that a combined analysis of gesture and speech offers new ways to address…
