    • Description : Do our hands ‘speak the same language’ across cultures? Gesture is the silent partner of spoken languages in face-to-face interaction, but we still have a lot to learn about gesture practices in different speech communities. The primary purpose of this task is to collect data in naturalistic settings that can be used to investigate the linguistic and cultural relativity of gesture performance, especially spatially indicative gestures. It involves video-recording pairs of speakers in both free conversation and more structured communication tasks (e.g., describing film plots). Please note: the stimuli mentioned in this entry are available elsewhere: "The Pear Story", a short film made at the University of California at Berkeley, and “Frog, where are you?” from the original Mayer (1969) book, as published in the Appendix of Berman & Slobin (1994).
