Answer 5

Helen uses a quotation gesture in line 1:

Using Streeck’s conventions, it could be represented in this way:

                                  _quote__º__º__º_________
                                 |                       |
01    Hel:  I took a melatonin so I can: reset my schedule.=right,

Kendon’s representation would look like this:

01    Hel:  I took a melatonin so I can: reset my schedule.=right,
                                 |~*******/**/*-./.-.-.-.-.|

 

Note that Kendon’s conventions allow you to represent the gradual withdrawal of the gesture and the return to the home position.

Both representations could be supplemented by a representation of the speaker’s and the recipients’ gaze.
