Abstract
Human communication involves not only language but, crucially, the body – being fundamentally multimodal (that is: involving language, gesture, gaze, body postures, movements, objects manipulations and arrangements of bodies in space). This chapter explores some contemporary issues in this field, elabo- rating on various challenges this perspectives opens both methodologically and theoretically. The study of langauge and the body in social interactions is grounded on video recordings of naturally occurring interactions and on transcripts and other forms of annotation. Analytically, this rich documentation makes possible to study the complexity of the moment-by-moment sequential and temporal organization of the emerging interaction. Building on conversation analysis, the chapter shows how multimodality contributes to the study of turn taking, sequence and action.
