Abstract:

Gestures are now viewed as an integral part of spoken language. But little
attention has been paid to the recipients’ cognitive processes of integrating
both gesture and speech. How do people understand a speaker’s gestures when
inserted into gaps in the flow of speech? What cognitive-semiotic mechanisms
allow this integration to occur? And what linguistic and gestural properties
do people draw on when construing multimodal meaning? This book offers answers
by investigating multimodal utterances in which speech is replaced by
gestures. Through fine-grained cognitive-linguistic and cognitive-semiotic
analyses of multimodal utterances combined with naturalistic perception
experiments, six chapters explore gestures’ potential to realize grammatical
notions of nouns and verbs and to integrate with speech by merging into
multimodal syntactic constructions. Analyses of speech-replacing gestures and
a range of related phenomena compel us to consider gestures as well as spoken
and signed language as manifestations of the same conceptual system. An
overarching framework is proposed for studying these different modalities
together – a multimodal cognitive grammar.
