Relying on discussions about recurrent gestures and gestures of negation, in this paper, we aim to demonstrate how the apparent contradiction between negative gestural utterances co-occurring with positive spoken utterances can be explained with the concepts of counterfactuality and epistemic stances, developed in the Mental Spaces Theory framework. To illustrate how gestures of negation can be analyzed as a case of multiple blends and be metaphorically interpreted, we chose three examples of co-occurrences of a positive verbal and negative gestural utterance. Specifically for the discussion proposed here, we selected three videos from the Brazilian TV show “What the hell is this story, Porchat?” (“Que história é essa, Porchat?”). To analyze the data we used the Linguistic Annotation System for Gestures (LASG) and focused on gestural forms and functions, as well as their semantic relation with the speech. The results showed that in all three videos gestures perform a metacommunicative function. Thus, they can be categorized as pragmatic and discursive gestures, realizing specific performative or operational functions. The sweeping away gestures found in two occurrences work on the discursive level to emphasize implicit counterfactuality of the verbal utterance. The throwing away gesture, found in one occurrence, works on the pragmatic level, also to dismiss the positive possibility created by the verbal utterance. In both cases the gesture operates to prevent any possibility of creating an alternative positive mental space, also demonstrating the implicit counterfactuality of the positive verbal utterances.

M a r k T u r n e rInstitute Professor at Case Western Reserve University M a í r a A v e l a r Resumo: In this paper, we aim at presenting the concept of Blended Classic Joint Attention, BCJA (TURNER, 2015). At first, we discuss the concept of Classic Joint Attention (TOMASELLO, 1995, THOMAS;TURNER 2011) and then illustrate BCJA using a scene from a video made by Jout Jout, a Brazilian youtuber. After that, we discuss the concept of multimodal deixis and present our data which consist of four samples collected from the Distributed Little Red Hen Lab. Two of them are from Brazilian TV news and the other two from the US talk-show "The Daily Show". We analyzed the multimodal verbo-gestural compounds in which the spatial deictics "here" and "aqui" co-occur with manual gestures and eye gaze. Results show that in less prototypical examples, with fixed expressions, there is no interaction with the viewer. On the other hand, in more prototypical examples, the eye gaze is aimed at the viewer, while the manual gesture is aimed at the immediate interlocutor.Resumo: Neste artigo, temos por objetivo apresentar o conceito de "Atenção Compartilhada Clássica Mesclada", ACCM (TURNER, 2015). Primeiramente, discutimos o conceito de "Atenção Compartilhada Clássica" (TOMASELLO, 1995, THOMAS;TURNER, 2011), e, em seguida, ilustramos a ACCM utilizando cenas de um vídeo realizado pela youtuber brasileira Jout Jout. Na sequência, discutimos o conceito de dêixis multimodal e apresentamos nossos dados, que consistem em quatro amostras coletadas no Distributed Red Hen Lab. Dois vídeos pertencem a telejornais brasileiros e dois, ao programa de auditório norte-americano "The Daily Show". Analisamos compostos verbo-gestuais em que os dêiticos espaciais "aqui" e "here" co-ocorrem com gestos manuais e olhares. Os resultados demonstraram que, em exemplos menos prototípicos, em que ocorrem expressões verbais fixas, não há interação com o telespectador. Por outro lado, em exemplos mais prototípicos, os olhares são direcionados ao telespectador, enquanto os gestos manuais são direcionados ao interlocutor imediato.
