Book Synopsis From Gesture in Conversation to Visible Action as Utterance by : Mandana Seyfeddinipur
Download or read book From Gesture in Conversation to Visible Action as Utterance written by Mandana Seyfeddinipur. This book was released on 2014-08-06. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Language use is fundamentally multimodal. Speakers use their hands to point to locations, to represent content and to comment on ongoing talk; they position their bodies to show their orientation and stance in interaction; they use facial displays to comment on what is being said; and they engage in mutual gaze to establish intersubjectivity. This volume brings together studies by leading scholars from several fields on gaze and facial displays, on the relationship between gestures, sign, and language, on pointing and other conventionalized forms of manual expression, on gestures and language evolution, and on gestures in child development. The papers in this collection honor Adam Kendon whose pioneering work has laid the theoretical and methodological foundations for contemporary studies of multimodality, gestures, and utterance visible action.

Book Synopsis Poetic Gesture by : Kristine S. Santilli
Download or read book Poetic Gesture written by Kristine S. Santilli. This book was released on 2013-12-16. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study addresses the problem of meaning as it is conveyed by poetic language, attempting to move beyond some of the obstacles and boundaries of contemporary critical approaches. By providing a phenomenological context, and through a theoretical contemplation of certain myths as embodiments of the tacit 'logic' of poetry, the book argues that poems convey meaning much the way that spontaneous unreadable gestures do. Moving between theory and practice, and drawing upon the poetry of Wallace Stevens whose work is embedded with a richness and complexity of gesture, the author shows how the poetic text sustains and embodies an inconvertible, ancient and innately human form of linguistic knowledge.
