The goal of this class is to elucidate the relationships between language (signed or spoken) and gesture. Does gesture help us learn? Can gesture express things that language doesn’t? Do signers gesture? We will discuss these questions in this course, co-taught by researchers from Susan Goldin-Meadow Lab at the University of Chicago.
