6. Developed a typology of interactive gestures: two types (acknowledging and transferring) and many subtypes
7. Found evidence that gesture handshape kinematics have organisational properties over gesture phrases akin to natural language syntax (e.g. non-adjacent dependency)

2. Made world's largest (semi-)naturalistic gesture corpus
3. Interactive gestures sig. fall when you can't see interlocutor torso
4. Specific gestures sig. co-occur with specific errors (e.g. metaphoric with anomia)
5. Gesturer profiles-EFA suggests ppl use representational or conversational types

Over the recent months, I've had lots of fun presenting main findings from my PhD's first phase! I thought I'd share some highlights :)

1. Evidence of separate reps in the brain of British Sign Language and English in an awake craniotomy patient, confirming reviews of unimodal bilingual patients

Here in beautifully leafy (and compared to the UK, wonderfully town-planned) Nijmegen for the @isgs2025.bsky.social conference! Find myself particularly taken by the suburban architecture for reasons I cannot yet explain.

Excited for the event and to meet other researchers for the first time!
