“…Both deictic gestures and iconic representations say something about the world and as such they have propositional content; this extends to pictorial representations as well (Abusch 2014;Grzankowski 2015).…”

This paper concerns the form-meaning mapping of communicative actions consisting of speech and improvised co-speech gestures. Based on the findings of previous cognitive and computational approaches, we advance a new theory in which this form-meaning mapping is analysed in a constraint-based grammar. Motivated by observations in naturally occurring examples, we propose several construction rules, which use linguistic form, gesture form and their relative timing to constrain the derivation of a single speech-gesture syntax tree, from which a meaning representation can be composed via standard methods for semantic composition. The paper further reports on implementing these speech-gesture construction rules within the English Resource Grammar (Copestake and Flickinger 2000). Since gestural form often underspecifies its meaning, the logical formulae that are composed via syntax are underspecified so that current models of the semantics/pragmatics interface support the range of possible interpretations of the speech-gesture act in its context of use.

“…Intentional acts of communication are mainly propositional, typically coded as different kinds of verbal discourse, many of which act as tools for identity management (Vásquez 2014, 68). However, there is no reason why the propositional quality of verbal utterances could not be extended to images and pictures such as the ones uploaded on users' profiles, which are devoid of verbal content (Grzankowski 2015). For instance, in Yus (2008), it is claimed that readers also engage in inferential operations in order to work out the intended interpretation of pictures and images.…”

In recent research, it has been argued that an extension of the relevance-theoretic (and also cyberpragmatic) scope of research is necessary in order to account for elements of communication that do not have a direct link to the relevance of the propositional information being transferred among Internet users, but which are important to determine the eventual (ir)relevance of the act of communication as a whole. Using the relevance-theoretic terminology, ostensive acts of communication online would be covered by the communicative principle of relevance, whereas other non-propositional effects and contextual constraints, not directly linked to this information transfer, but which matter in the eventual (dis)satisfaction with the outcome of communication, would be covered by the more general cognitive principle of relevance. In this paper, I will show how this extension offers a nice potential for explaining the discursive management of online identity.

“…Aquí me centraré en el problema de la negación pictórica que presuntamente tienen las imágenes para expresar la negación de otras proposiciones (Bermúdez 2006;Bronner 2015;Rescorla 2009): por ejemplo, mientras que es posible representar pictóricamente que Biagioli está nadando, no se puede representar que Biagioli no está nadando. Cabe decir que la resolución de este problema tiene importancia para otros asuntos, tales como la naturaleza del contenido de las imágenes -¿es proposicional o no proposicional?- (Grzankowski 2015), el razonamiento pictórico -¿se puede razonar con imágenes?-(Barceló Aspeitia 2012), el pensamiento animal -¿es posible pensar sin lenguaje?-(Morales Ladrón de Guevara 2011), el pensamiento conceptual -¿son necesarios vehículos lingüísticos?- (Heck 2007; Aguilera y Castellano 2020), etc. Más importante aún, la posibilidad de la negación pictórica constituye una prueba a favor del externismo porque, como veremos, la negación pictórica no depende de encontrar elementos internos en las imágenes que expresan la negación, lo que muestra que los operadores lógicos tampoco son esenciales para las relaciones lógicas.…”

De acuerdo con Barceló, la posibilidad de la negación pictórica constituye una prueba a favor del externismo lógico porque no depende de encontrar elementos internos en las imágenes que expresan la negación. Propongo analizar la negación pictórica en contextos de razonamiento para mostrar cómo el contenido de una imagen se determina por relaciones lógicas externas. Para ello, propongo restringir el análisis del dominio completo de relaciones lógicas externas a contextos específicos de razonamiento. Lejos de rechazar la variante externista de Barceló, espero de esta forma poner a trabajar sus ideas.
