My name is Šárka and I am currently working on my PhD thesis. I am based between Leibniz-Zentrum Allgemeine Sprachwissenschaft in Berlin and Radboud University in Nijmegen. In my research, I explore language/communication as an embodied motor skill that engages articulators of the whole body and investigate how physical effort shapes different functions of social interaction.
🔭 I’m currently working on a charade-like experiment in which people express meanings in different modalities. I investigate whether they become more 'effortful' when they need to overcome a misunderstanding.
🌱 I’m currently learning computer vision methods for studying human and animal movement
I’m looking to collaborate on...
🐒 developing tools for tracking and classifying animal movement
💪 comparing different gesture annotations schemes against biomechanical definitions of movement
🤡 establish meaning-to-movement mappings in silent gestures
