Changes

Gestures have been studied throughout the centuries from different view points. Quintillian in the antiquity studied in his Institution Oratoria how gesture may be used in [[rhetoric]]al [[discourse]]. Another broad study of gesture was published by [[John Bulwer]] in 1644. Bulwer analyzed dozens of gestures and provided a guide on how to use gestures to increase [[eloquence]] and clarity for [[public]] speaking. Andrea De Jorio published an extensive account of gestural expression in 1832. Today, one of the most prominent researchers in the field of gesture research is Adam Kendon. He has investigated many aspects of gestures, including their role in communication, conventionalization of gesture, [[integration]] of gesture and [[speech]], and the evolution of language. Other prominent researchers in this field include Susan Goldin-Meadow and David McNeill. Susan Goldin-Meadow (2003) has investigated intensively the role of gesture in problem solving in children. David McNeill (1992, 2006)has developed a broad theory about how gesture and speech are part of a single [[thought]] [[process]]. Adam Kendon is a leading [[authority]] on the study of gesture, and has also published important studies in social interaction. He has published over a hundred articles and several books on the role of the body in social interaction.
