Abstract:
The status of gesture in cognitive-functional models of grammar
Everyday language use involves not only written and spoken but also gestured
forms of expression. Nevertheless, most current models of linguistic structure
do not account for speakers’ bodily behaviors. This dissertation contributes
to filling this gap by addressing the potential status of manual gestures in
two specific frameworks: Functional Discourse Grammar and Cognitive Grammar. A
theoretical assessment shows that the former is propitious for modeling the
relation between gesture and speech from a formal and discourse-interactional
point of view, whereas the latter reveals a close connection between gesture
and conceptualization.
In addition, the dissertation reports on a series of web-based and
corpus-based experiments which address the challenges that come along with a
multimodal view on grammar. A first, exploratory study shows how the
functional complexity of manual gestures can be mapped out using statistical
techniques. A second study reveals that the functional interpretation of
manual gestures depends only moderately on the accompanied speech. Third, the
function of a gesture is shown to be largely predictable on the basis of a
small number of form features. In addition, a corpus-based analysis reveals
that expressions spoken with, versus without, gestures are characterized by
distinct distributions of word types. Drawing on these theoretical and
empirical insights, the final section of the dissertation provides parallel
analyses of various spoken-gestured utterances, using Functional Discourse
Grammar and Cognitive Grammar as points of departure.
