Temporal and social processing are intricately linked. The temporal extent and organization
of interactional behaviors both within and between individuals critically determine interaction …

While recent research has shown that iconic gestures and the so-called pitch gestures (or
gestures that mimic melody in speech) favour word learning in a second language, little is …

Communication is facilitated when listeners allocate their attention to important information
(focus) in the message, a process called “information structure.” Linguistic cues like the …

During face‐to‐face communication, listeners integrate speech with gestures. The semantic
information conveyed by iconic gestures (eg, a drinking gesture) can aid speech …

This chapter offers an overview of signed language linguistics. We begin with a historical
perspective. A brief description of American Sign Language (ASL) provides the background …

Native listeners neurally integrate iconic gestures with speech, which can enhance
degraded speech comprehension. However, it is unknown how non-native listeners neurally …

The semantic integration between gesture and speech (GSI) is mediated by the left posterior
temporal sulcus/middle temporal gyrus (pSTS/MTG) and the left inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) …

Neural processing of dynamic continuous visual input, and cognitive influences thereon, are
frequently studied in paradigms employing strictly rhythmic stimulation. However, the …

The interactions between the senses are essential for cognitive functions such as
perception, attention, and action planning. Past research helped understanding of …

During public addresses, speakers accompany their discourse with spontaneous hand
gestures (beats) that are tightly synchronized with the prosodic contour of the discourse. It …
