🤩 I'm at the ViCom Annual meeting - in about one hour we'll present our planned work for the second phase in our ✨emojis✨ project! #vicom #visualCommunication #linguistics https://vicom.info/
🚨 Yesterday, I received official notification that our #emoji project EmDiCom is being funded for another three years! 🥳
I'm looking forward to a lot more 🤩 emoji research 🤩 together with Patrick Grosz and Lea Fricke! #linguistics #dfg #vicom @vicom […]
It was so much fun to meet all the familiar and new gesture folks at @isgs2025.bsky.social
Also, #ViCom showed strong participation which made the conference somewhat extra cozy 🥰 /2
Great week full of people excited about gestures 👌 ahead! Arrived in beautiful Nijmegen 🇳🇱 for @isgs2025.bsky.social
Stop by at Friday’s poster session to learn about our project with Door Spruijt comparing kinematic patterns of gesturers, L2-signers and native signers 🤓
#isgs2025 #vicom
On Tuesday, May 6 at 10:00, Door Spruijt (@unicologne.bsky.social) will present her work on how learners of a sign language may utilize their gestural repertoire in acquiring manual phonology 👐🏻🧏🏼♀️ at @zasberlin.bsky.social

First day of the #ViCom statistics workshop on Bayesian regressions for language sciences 🤩 , by João Verissimo @vicom #Frankfurt
I had an amazing opportunity to be part of a workshop *Multimodality in Social Interactions 2.0* in sunny sunny Marseille 🌞 and share our ongoing #flesh & #vicom work on motion capture in different context and species. Thanks everyone for truly great time ❤️🐋🐒
25/25 We’re up next (and last!) in the #ViCom annual meeting! We’ll be talking about our studies on the semantics and pragmatics of emojis ☺️
24/ Celina von Eiff and Stefan Schweinberger on emotion and speech perception in hearing people and cochlear implant users #ViCom
They’re looking at gestural and prosodies focus in Catalan and German #ViCom
Gesture and speech are closely aligned, eg in that the apex of a pointing #gesture occurs at the same time as the highest speech prominence (a pretty amazing feat as gesture movements are much slower than speech […]
23/ The Multis project is presenting on their work on prosody and co-speech gesture #ViCom
22/ Martin Schulte-Rüther is researching visual communication in clinical applications #ViCom
20/ Lisa-Marie Krause is talking about pointing and uncertainty resulting from the different viewpoints of the pointer and observer #ViCom
19/ Anastasia Bauer is presenting a corpus driven approach to signs/gestures that share a form / 3rd day of the #ViCom annual meeting #visualCommunication
18/ After the group photo, the #ViCom data network is presenting their work and their plans #visual #communication
17/ after lunch: more short term collaborations on gesture, sign language, multimodality, computational tools, et al. #ViCom
16/ Now there’s a whole slate of short pitches of the short term collaborations between different projects #ViCom
15/ Short term fellow Vinicius Macuch Silva presents his project on multimodal epistemic stance taking #ViCom
14/ Sarah Schwarzenberg is looking at metaphorical iconic signs in German Sign Language #ViCom #signLanguage #metaphor
They are currently studying medieval temporal logic. #ViCom
#ViCom annual meeting day 2 starts with a presentation by Jens Lemanski and Reetu Bhattacharjee on gestures and diagrams for explaining mathematical and logical models 13/
12/ Casey Ferrara is talking about iconic modifications in words like “this day is looooooong” #ViCom
The motor system is involved in understanding #gesture, not just in producing it (Goldin-Meadow) #ViCom
11/ Invited talk by our Mercator fellow Susan Goldin-Meadow on gesture as a mechanism for change #ViCom
For Nadine, visual scenarios are a tool to study linguistic models (not the phenomenon she’s interested in) #ViCom
10/ Nadine Bade on attention and alternatives in reasoning processes - based on causal relations represented by visual animations #ViCom
She studies pragmatic inferences and fallacious conclusions
9/ Andy Lücking et al on multimodal distributional semantics for gestures, and their basic gesture research infrastructure #ViCom
Results: Yes, gestures can be lies. But we are more committed to our verbal speech than to gesture content. #ViCom
7/ Cornelia Loos on classifiers in German Sign Language #ViCom
