You're likely aware of using your voice to communicate, but have you ever wondered what your hands might be saying as well? In this class, we will begin with an introduction to co-speech gesture and demonstrate how your hands might reveal more than you imagined. Shifting our focus to sign languages, we then explore sign's relationship to gesture. Along the way, we hope to clear up some common misconceptions about sign language and challenge your view of what constitutes language.
