ANU-Gesture-L
Version 1.0     March 1994

A collection of communications and exchanges submitted to
Gesture-L list on majordomo@coombs.anu.edu.au 

This Forum was established to provide a world-wide communications
vehicle and a central electronic archive for anyone working on, or
interested in the study and documentation of gestures, gesture systems
and alternate sign languages. This includes the study of the use of
gesture or gesticulation in everyday conversations, formal or
conventionalized gestures known as 'emblems' or 'quotable gestures',
'gesture systems' such as have been described for work settings of
various kinds (stock markets, race tracks, factories, and the like)
and alternate sign languages, (sign languages used in hearing
communities as an alternative to speech) such as those used among the
Australian Aborigines, the Plains Indians of North America, in certain
European monasteries, and other groups. It is hoped that the Forum will
make possible the development of a wide range of cultural and social
comparisons in gesture use. The Forum begins operation without a
moderator and is open to all, subject to subscription approval by the
Listowner (see below).

The Forum was established on the 28 February 1994 on the joint
initiative of the Coombs Computing Unit, Research Schools of Social
Sciences & Pacific and Asian Studies, The Australian National
University, and Dr Adam Kendon <ADAMK@NWFS.GSE.upenn.edu>, Research
Associate, Center for Urban Ethnography, Graduate School of Education
University of Pennsylvania, USA. [Mailing address for Kendon is 43
West Walnut Lane, Philadelphia, PA 19144 USA].
