Von der hinteren Coverseite

Questions of multimodal communication, language and embodiment have become pertinent in a wide range of research areas: cognitive science, psychology, linguistics, computer science, anthropology, sociology, semiotics, and art. What is lacking is an overview of this fast growing but highly diverse field. This reference work provides an encompassing documentation of how body movements relate to language and communication. These two volumes offer a perspective on the body as ‘part’ and ‘partner’ of language and communication. This overcomes the longstanding dichotomy represented in the concepts of verbal and nonverbal communication and promotes an incorporation of the body as an integral part of language and communication. Leading authors from a wide range of disciplines have substantiated this view and contributed to some of the current key issues of the humanities and the sciences. Topics include: the multimodal nature of language, communication and interaction, embodiment as a resource for meaning-making, conceptualization as felt experience, and the emergence and evolution of language from body movements.
