Expressive Speech, Expressive Action

Some representations are prima facie hybrids. By ‘representations’ we refer to activities such as linguistic speech acts, communicative acts in different media, the products of such activities, and the mental states or attitudes that these activities and their products typically express or aim to produce. In this workshop, we will explore two of dimensions of such representations: expressive actions and expressive speech.
