#EmbSynNet- Ann Weatherall presents on the coordination of clauses with instructed sequence of self defence moves. With practice the rhythm improves, tying syntax and the motions. A lot of discussion about the mnemonic as well as temporal affordances of the words (eg 'nose gut nuts').



#EmbSynNet-Dr. Virginia Calabria, she·her·lei·idda @SophiaFiedler5 & Hilla Polak-Yitzhaki present on quotative constructions in 3 langs (Italian, French, Hebrew), looking at how 'do+#nonlexical' does depiction. I loved the fact that the data shown were all quotes of non-verbal things eg music, brake sounds

#EmbSynNet-@pehkossa & Antti Kannisto present use of ole hyvä (please/kindly) in police arrests. Ole hyvä seems to accompany moments of intensifying progressivity, where police encourage compliance but expect resistance

#EmbSynNet-Adrian Kerrison presents an example of accountable, compositional syntax in non-turn taking context: the organization of sports cheering. Recognizability of units key for group to produce right synchrony with each other & game, as well as initiate novel or practiced units







#EmbSynNet- Leelo Keevallik, me, Sally Wiggins Young & Agnes Löfgren present on how we can begin to incorporate response cries in syntax. Syntactic structures & the body coordinate to organize slots wherein RCs are understandable, as well as visceral&genuine.


A big thank you to Leelo Keevallik for a wonderfully inspiring talk on “Vocal and syntactic aspects of embodied togetherness” delivered at IDS Mannheim today as part of the lecture series “Sprache - Leib - Interaktion” 🎉🎉🎉
