Abstract

In this case study, the epistemic role of gestures is considered empirically. The analysis of gestures is included into the AiC analysis of a small excerpt of the data from Chap. 2 by means of the notion of semiotic bundle, which forms a crucial component of the APC-space. For this purpose, APC and AiC are coordinated and then locally integrated in an asymmetric way.
