This paper investigates the use of gesture and bodily display in the interactive organization of word searches. Here I examine how both speakers in the course of producing a word search in their talk, as well as recipients, in their responses to invitations to coparticipate in such an activity, make integrated use of vocal and nonvocal behaviors.
