Iconic Gestures in Face-to-Face TV Interviews

چکیده
This paper presents a study of iconic gestures as attested in a corpus of Greek face-to-face television interviews. This study takes place in an interactional context that is different from the narrative genre that has been primarily examined so far regarding the semantics and the communicative significance of the iconic gestures. We attempt to classify the iconic gestures attested according to their semantic equivalent, and link them to the phrase units of the accompanying speech, in order to draw some conclusions about the actual syntactical structures that induce them.
