工作场所的面对面交流通常被认为主要是由口语组成的。虽然口语显然是创造表征的一种非常重要的媒介，但在复杂的工作环境中，它是几种这样的媒介之一。手势和说话者和听话者居住的空间通常被认为是为言语解释提供语境。在这一章中，我们将展示空间、手势和语言是如何结合在一起的，构成复杂的多层表达，其中没有一个单层是完整或连贯的。我们考察了一名工人对另外两名工人的简短解释。我们展示了解释的意义是如何在专门化人工制品的空间组织、相对于这些人工制品的手势定位以及所说的话之间的协调中进行的。
Face-to-face communication in the workplace is often conceived of as consisting mainly of spoken language. Although spoken language is clearly a very important medium for the creation of representations, in complex work settings, it is one of several such media. Gestures and the space inhabited by speakers and listeners are normally thought of as providing context for the interpretation of speech. In this chapter we show how space, gesture, and speech are all combined in the construction of complex multilayered representations in which no single layer is complete or coherent by itself. We examine a brief explanation given by one worker to two others. We show how the meaning of the explanation is carried in the coordination among the spatial organization of specilized artifacts, the positioning of gestures with respect to those artifacts, and the words that are spoken.
