Ian MaddIeson and CarolIne sMIth University of New Mexico The substance of all languages, whether spoken or signed, consists of the gestures of the articulators which generate a signal whether these are made by the hands, lips, tongue or larynx. These gestures create aural and visual images embodying the utterances that a speaker/signer intends to produce and create an interpretable percept in the audience. At the same time, all of the strictly linguistic signals are accompanied by additional facial, manual and bodily gestures that contribute to the communicative act. The aim of the Twelfth Conference on Laboratory Phonology, held at the University of New Mexico in July 2010, was to consider all of the ways that viewing human language as built of and accompanied by gestures shed light on each other. This is the first of two special issues of Laboratory Phonology in which written versions of papers originally presented orally at the conference will appear. The papers in this issue approach the gestural nature of language by analyzing speech and signed language as coordinated gestures, and by examining the contribution of gestures of the face and hands to the interpretation of the prosody of spoken utterances.
