Abstract

(W)hile access to each other's bodies provides a resource for the display of meaning, it also imposes constraints on behavior making use of that access. The effect is that the organization of a relevant and appropriate framework of mutual visual orientation becomes a practical problem for participants, a problem that they must work out together in the course of their interaction. The present paper will investigate some ways in which gesture might be used in this process. Data for this analysis consists of videotapes of actual conversations recorded in a range of natural settings.
