Abstract:

Pantomime is a unique form of communication, which we improvise “on
the fly” to transmit information when unable to use language, for
example during intercultural contacts or when the use of language is
blocked or constrained, as in the case of some medical conditions or
the game of charades. Pantomimic communication has been investigated
from a number of perspectives, including neuropsychological,
developmental and gesture research. Recently, pantomime has come under
the attention of evolutionary linguistics as a strong candidate for a
precursor of verbal communication. This volume brings together authors
who are at the forefront of these studies, which challenge the notion
that pantomime is merely a fallback mode of expression. This
multidisciplinary journey traverses language evolution, cognitive
science, cognitive semiotics, sign language linguistics, psychology
and gesture studies to unveil the profound role that pantomime plays
in human communication.
