We document caregivers’ multimodal language (n= 72, children: 2-4 years) in semi naturalistic interaction. We show how multimodal language differ when talking about objects that are present vs absent. Multimodal iconicity is more common for absent objects. @ESRC @ERC_Research

Just meet a MSc student who brought her 1.5 year daughter to the meeting; as a foreigner & a mom, she had no choice; she took her son to classes during her UG study. She likes children so takes a child language acquisition project w me. I have so much admiration to the student.

@mamus_ezgi If our conceptual representations develop from sensory experiences then blind & sighted ppl may have diff representations. Using elicited silent gesture Blind ppl produce fewer gestures for non-manipulable & animals (but not for manipulable objects). #MMSYM2023
