    "title": "Transfer in Gesture: L2 Placement Event Descriptions",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "There are cross-linguistics differences in the type of verb used\nto describe placement events. Dutch uses semantically specific\nplacement verbs (zetten, leggen), whereas English uses a\nsemantically general placement verb (put). This semantic focus\nis reflected in speaker’s gestures, which can be specific and\nobject-focused by showing object-incorporating handshapes,\nor not. This study investigates the semantic placement event\nfocus of Dutch L2 speakers of English, by investigating verb\nuse and gesture production in placement event descriptions.\nResults showed that placement verb production was native-\nlike, with a majority correct usage of put. However, gesture\nproduction showed many object-incorporating handshapes,\nsimilar to L1 Dutch gesture production. These results suggest\nthat although the Dutch L2 speakers of English sounded native-\nlike in speech, they were still trying to express Dutch-like\nplacement verb meaning, by showing a continued focus on the\nobject, as expressed in their gesture production.",
