Abstract
Studies of gesture and language, multimodality, and embodied talk constitute a blooming domain that revisits our conceptions of language as well as of hu- man action. However, research until now has focused on the upper part of the body — mainly on gesture, gaze, head movements and facial expressions. Tis paper contributes to and expands this line of research by looking at the lower part of the body — in practices of walking and talking — and by demonstrating how the entire body is crucially involved in the organisation of social interac- tion. Adopting a conversation analytic perspective, the paper is based on video recordings of people talking and walking in a garden. Te study shows how the entire body moves in signifcant and systematic ways, within complex multi- modal Gestalts. In particular it shows how walking both refexively shapes and is shaped by emergent turn formatting, ongoing sequence organization and the dynamic organization of participant frameworks.
