Abstract:
NOW AVAILABLE IN PAPERBACK!
This volume is the first to offer an overview on metaphor and gesture - a new
multi-disciplinary area of research. Scholars of metaphor have been paying
increasing attention to spontaneous gestures with speech; meanwhile,
researchers in gesture studies have been focussing on the abstract ideas
which receive physical representation through metaphors when speakers
gesture. This book presents a snapshot of the state of the art in these
converging fields, offering research papers as well as commentaries from
multiple perspectives. In addition to conceptual metaphor theory it includes
different theoretical approaches to semiotics, and the methods used range
from controlled experimentation, to cognitive ethnography, to lexical semantic
analysis. The use of metaphor in gesture is shown to reflect idiosyncracies of
thought in the moment of speaking as well as structural, cultural, and
interactional patterns. The series of commentaries discusses the potential
importance of studying metaphor and gesture from the perspectives of such
fields as anthropology, cognitive linguistics, conversation analysis,
psychology, and semiotics.
