Quatrième de couverture : "Il n'est pas toujours facile d'identifier les émotions subtiles d'autrui et nous avons rarement conscience de nos propres signes corporels. Pour cette raison, toute une s dimension cachée de la communication émise, reçue ou mutuellement construite risque de nous échapper. Des modalités de l'expression comme le regard, la voix, la posture, les mimiques, configurent un second message. Elles peuvent même devenir le message profond dont les mots ne révèlent alors qu'une face officielle. Ce type de communication, encore plus ambiguë que les mots, influence pourtant notre inconscient. L'ouvrage illustre cette signalétique propre au quotidien, mais qui s'exprime aussi dans le contexte du care et de l'empathie : relation d'aide, de soin, thérapeutique ou de conseil... La fonction expressive du corps dans les interactions est ainsi précisée sous un éclairage rigoureux et clairement à l'écart de certaines impostures interprétatives. Commencer par prendre soin du mental d'autrui grâce à une certaine intelligence émotionnelle qui respecte ses affects et représentations déformées par la souffrance, c'est déjà une façon de l'aider. Tel est le parti pris de cet ouvrage qui se révélera donc très utile à tous les professionnels de l'aide et du soin."

This master thesis starts from the importance of co-speech gestures in communication and from the typological differences between verb-framed and satellite-framed languages (Talmy 2000). It is thought that these differences are reflected in gestures (Kita & Özyürek 2003, McNeill 2005 and Brown & Chen 2013). The present study aims to determine how French native speakers, Dutch native speakers and French-speaking learners of Dutch (2 proficiency levels) express dynamic and static motion events in both language and gestures. To do so, we conducted an experiment in which participants had to recount scenes from Tweety and Sylvester and in which they had to locate objects on images. Their productions were then analysed on both levels. The results of the current research are mostly in line with previous studies on the expression of motion events by French and Dutch speakers (Talmy 2000, Lemmens 2002, Kopecka 2006) and with studies on the expression of static motion events by French-speaking learners of Dutch (Lemmens & Perrez 2010, 2012 and 2018). In addition, it reveals (1) how French speakers of Dutch express dynamic motion events, (2) that the gestures produced by the two groups native speakers do show similarities and differences and what these are, (3) that gesturing in L1 is different than in L2 and (4) that learners tend to code the same pieces of information in their gestures in both languages.

The study centres on the subject of Dance in West Africa, namely a dance of the Ewe in Southern Ghana. Although modernity is having an adverse effect on traditional dancing, it is still important in the society and may be viewed as a mirror of culture. The objectives are to describe the dance and embed this form of expression within a theoretical framework. Every movement has a meaning and in this way it is possible to explain a whole story, a person is speaking through dance.

Le corps n'est plus seulement un medium et un média de communication, il incarne par ses gestes, postures et attitudes, un mode d'exister dans les gestes professionnels. A travers notre corps, les émotions, les affects, les gestes involontaires, le stress, le désir ou le plaisir, se trahissent malgré nous dans l'interaction pédagogique. La distance des corps, la direction des regards, la qualité du toucher, l'inflexion de la voix, la tenue vestimentaire, l'engagement de notre corps dans l'espace, sont autant d'activités et d'activations de notre corps vivant qui émergent dans le corps vécu (4ème de couverture)
