Abstract:

Co-speech gestures are ubiquitous: when people speak, they almost always
produce gestures. Gestures reflect content in the mind of the speaker, often
under the radar and frequently using rich mental images that complement
speech. What are gestures doing? Why do we use them? This book is the first to
systematically explore the functions of gesture in speaking, thinking, and
communicating – focusing on the variety of purposes served for the gesturer as
well as for the viewer of gestures. Chapters in this edited volume present a
range of diverse perspectives (including neural, cognitive, social,
developmental and educational), consider gestural behavior in multiple
contexts (conversation, narration, persuasion, intervention, and instruction),
and utilize an array of methodological approaches (including both naturalistic
and experimental). The book demonstrates that gesture influences how humans
develop ideas, express and share those ideas to create community, and engineer
innovative solutions to problems.
