Abstract:
Face-to-face interaction is the most common locus for human communication. Interlocutor adhere, in most cooperative conversation, to features of interaction, including turn-taking, requesting repair and correcting misunderstandings, using gestures to facilitate meaning, and coordinating eye gaze and body position. Here we propose how emergent silent gesture communication may rely on features of interaction, namely repair and using priors, during the process of conventionalization as the negotiation of form-meaning pairs is carried out over multiple turns.
