The tour will start with a review of the basic ideas behind a gestural approach to phonetics and phonology, and then proceed to discuss some of the new developments in the area. The latter include the pi-gesture model of prosodic boundary effects (Byrd & Saltzman 2003), new approaches to gestural structure (split gesture hypothesis; Nam 2004; Mooshammer 1998) and recent work that shows how templatic processes in Moroccan Colloquial Arabic (Gafos 2002) and transparency in Hungarian vowel harmony (Benus 2005) can be understood from a gestural perspective.
