Abstract:

In Ten Lectures on Cognitive Linguistics and the Unification of Spoken and
Signed Languages Sherman Wilcox suggests that rather than abstracting away
from the material substance of language, linguists can discover the deep
connections between signed and spoken languages by taking an embodied view.
This embodied solution reveals the patterns and principles that unite
languages across modalities. Using a multidisciplinary approach, Wilcox
explores such issues as the how to apply cognitive grammar to the study of
signed languages, the pervasive conceptual iconicity present throughout the
lexicon and grammar of signed languages, the relation of language and gesture,
the grammaticization of signs, the significance of motion for understanding
language as a dynamic system, and the integration of cognitive neuroscience
and cognitive linguistics.
