Description:<\/strong>
\nIn recent years, formal linguistic methodology and methodology inspired by formal linguistics have been systematically applied to non-standard objects of study. Three core areas that have been explored encompass the syntax\/semantics of gestures (Lascarides & Stone 2009, Giorgolo 2010, Ebert and Ebert 2014, Tieu et al. 2017, Schlenker 2018), the syntax\/semantics of body movement beyond gestures, such as dance (Napoli & Kraus 2015, Charnavel 2016, Patel-Grosz et al. 2018), and the calls and gestures of non-human animals, in particular primates (Fitch and Hauser 2004, Yip 2006, Berwick et al. 2011, Schlenker et al. 2016).
\nAll of these domains are structured systems of communication that are ‘outside’ of language, whether that be because they are performed by humans who do not use language for functional or expressive reasons (gesture and dance) or because they are performed by nonhuman primates without the capacity for human language. The workshop’s emphasis on body movements in particular allows a potential bridge between the communicative and narrative actions by humans and their evolutionary antecedents in primate gestures (Kersken et al. 2018).
\nThe aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers applying formal linguistic methodology and methodology inspired by formal linguistics to gesture, body movement and primate linguistics. Topics of interest include (non-exhaustively) the syntax\/semantics of:<\/p>\n
