Inhaltsangabe

Volume II of the handbook offers a unique collection of exemplary case studies. In five chapters and 99 articles it presents the state of the art on how body movements are used for communication around the world. Topics include the functions of body movements, their contexts of occurrence, their forms and meanings, their integration with speech, and how bodily motion can function as language. By including an interdisciplinary chapter on ‘embodiment’, volume II explores the body and its role in the grounding of language and communication from one of the most widely discussed current theoretical perspectives. Volume II of the handbook thus entails the following chapters:

VI. Gestures across cultures,
VII. Body movements: functions, contexts and interactions,
VIII. Gesture and language,
IX. Embodiment: the body and its role for cognition, emotion, and communication,
X. Sign Language: Visible body movements as language.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Questions of multimodal communication, language and embodiment have become pertinent in a wide range of research areas: cognitive science, psychology, linguistics, computer science, anthropology, sociology, semiotics, and art. What is lacking is an overview of this fast growing but highly diverse field. This reference work provides an encompassing documentation of how body movements relate to language and communication. These two volumes offer a perspective on the body as 'part' and 'partner' of language and communication. This overcomes the longstanding dichotomy represented in the concepts of verbal and nonverbal communication and promotes an incorporation of the body as an integral part of language and communication. Leading authors from a wide range of disciplines have substantiated this view and contributed to some of the current key issues of the humanities and the sciences. Topics include: the multimodal nature of language, communication and interaction, embodiment as a resource for meaning-making, conceptualization as felt experience, and the emergence and evolution of language from body movements.
