The body's natural defences against communicative disease

Abstract:
We investigate listener gestures to speaker’s speech during clarification sequences; a situation in which problems with mutual-understanding are especially manifest. Specifically, we test the prediction that listeners should make extra use of embodied resources to aid speakers during these clarification sequences.
