I analysed language vocalisation and gesture of yes and no in Italy. I researched language vocalisation and gesture in modern Italy in particular in Milan (north) Rome (central) and Naples (south). I also researched language vocalisation and gesture in classical Italy through sculpture frescoes pottery and mosaics. I looked for differences in gestures for yes and no between Naples and other parts of Italy, the so-called Gesture frontier marking earlier Greek and Roman settlement. I also followed up on research by Adam Kendon and Andrea de Jorio's La mimica degli antichi investigata nel gestire napoletano.
In conducted further research and fieldwork in England, gathering more data on the use and distribution of jearse and dow in Eastern England.
I published a review article: HOWE, Stephen (2023) East Anglian English and the Langue de jearse and dow, Source: NOWELE. North-Western European Language Evolution, Volume 76, Issue 1, Jun 2023, p. 112 - 125

I am working on two forthcoming papers on 'yes' and 'no'. The first will include new data on jearse and dow in America. The second will put forward a hypothesis on the development of yes and no in human language.
