Discussion Name: GESTURE-L

Topic: The GESTURE-L Forum was established to provide a world-wide communications vehicle and a central electronic archive for anyone working on, or interested in the study and documentation of gestures, gesture systems and alternate sign languages. This includes the study of the use of gesture or gesticulation in everyday conversations, formal or conventionalized gestures known as "emblems" or "quotable gestures", "gesture systems" such as have been described for work settings of various kinds (stock markets, race tracks, factories, and the like) and alternate sign languages, (sign languages used in hearing communities as an alternative to speech) such as those used among the Australian Aborigines, the Plains Indians of North America, in certain European monastries, and other groups. It is hoped that the Forum will make possible the development of a wide range of cultural and social comparisons in gesture use. Subscription Address: majordomo@coombs.anu.edu.au
