An afterthought of the Conference at MSLU “Events in Cognition and Communication”:
I have some creepy darkish moments
Unable to define EVENTs:
The good from bad and bad from good –
That depends on human’s mood?
Thus, whatever’s your comment,
THIS was certainly EVENT!
And despite all the commotion,
Set us certainly in motion…
What is clear: we need pester
Speech event and co-speech gesture.
These are clues and these are tips
When a word takes off the lips!
