Abstract:
Language use is fundamentally multimodal. Speakers use their hands to point to
locations, to represent content and to comment on ongoing talk; they position
their bodies to show their orientation and stance in interaction; they use
facial displays to comment on what is being said; and they engage in mutual
gaze to establish intersubjectivity. This volume brings together studies by
leading scholars from several fields on gaze and facial displays, on the
relationship between gestures, sign, and language, on pointing and other
conventionalized forms of manual expression, on gestures and language
evolution, and on gestures in child development. The papers in this collection
honor Adam Kendon whose pioneering work has laid the theoretical and
methodological foundations for contemporary studies of multimodality,
gestures, and utterance visible action.
