Making Waves: Researching acquisition in prosody and gesture

Mariia Pronina (University of the Balearic Islands) and Rebecca Woods (Newcastle University) are starting a new online research group on the acquisition of prosody and gesture called Making Waves.

The group is intended to be an interactive, supportive and informative group that meets monthly to discuss, explore and problem-solve issues on the acquisition of prosody and gesture, rather than a platform for individuals to present research at length. In this way, they hope to create an international network of gesture and prosody acquisition researchers that will boost everyone's research programmes and prospects.
