Body - Language - Communication. Volume 2
Volume II of the handbook offers a unique collection of exemplary case studies. In five chapters and 99 articles it presents the state of the art on how body movements are used for communication around the world. Topics include the functions of body movements, their contexts of occurrence, their forms and meanings, their integration with speech, and how bodily motion can function as language. By including an interdisciplinary chapter on ‘embodiment’, volume II explores the body and its role in the grounding of language and communication from one of the most widely discussed current theoretical perspectives. Volume II of the handbook thus entails the following chapters: VI. Gestures acros...
Integrating Gestures
Gestures are now viewed as an integral part of spoken language. But little attention has been paid to the recipients’ cognitive processes of integrating both gesture and speech. How do people understand a speaker’s gestures when inserted into gaps in the flow of speech? What cognitive-semiotic mechanisms allow this integration to occur? And what linguistic and gestural properties do people draw on when construing multimodal meaning? This book offers answers by investigating multimodal utterances in which speech is replaced by gestures. Through fine-grained cognitive-linguistic and cognitive-semiotic analyses of multimodal utterances combined with naturalistic perception experiments, six chapters explore gestures’ potential to realize grammatical notions of nouns and verbs and to integrate with speech by merging into multimodal syntactic constructions. Analyses of speech-replacing gestures and a range of related phenomena compel us to consider gestures as well as spoken and signed language as manifestations of the same conceptual system. An overarching framework is proposed for studying these different modalities together – a multimodal cognitive grammar.
Gestures We Live By
This book examines emblems (or emblematic gestures) from a pragmatic view, that is to say, as autonomous gestures that fulfill communicative functions, embody illocutionary values, and act as signals of cognitive relevance. Emblems are conceived as multimodal tools on the frontier between verbal and nonverbal modes, and are part of the communicative repertoire of individuals and sociocultural groups. Emblems constitute clear cases of embodiment and are susceptible to many processes of metaphorization (contrasting or not with verbal metaphors), metonymy, and interference between modalities. The applications of emblematic analysis are numerous, from lexicography to second language learning, or to natural language processing.
Beyond Language Boundaries
The way speakers in multilingual contexts develop own varieties in their interactions sheds light on code switching and multimodal dynamic co-constructions of grammar in use. This volume explores the intersection of multimodality and language use of multilingual speakers. Firstly, theoretical frames are discussed and empirical studies involving Catalan, German and Spanish as L1, L2 or FL are presented interconnecting verbal and gestural modalities into grammar description or exploring actions as sources for gestures, which may nonverbally represent the argument in German dynamic motion verbs. Other chapters focus on positionings in interviews, lexical access searches or proxemics in greeting...
Repetitions in Gesture
Repetitive sequences play a major role as a pattern-building device and are a basic syntagmatic linguistic means on all language levels in spoken and signed languages. Little attention has been paid to investigating them in multimodal language use. Do gestures exhibit different types of repetitive sequences? Do they build complex units based on these types and if so, how is the pattern building to be described? How is the interrelation of gestural and spoken units in such complex units? Is it possible to identify repetitive patterns that are comparable to spoken and signed languages and/or patterns specific to the gestural modality? Based on a corpus-analysis of multimodal usage-events, 7 ch...
Die Gestensprache feministisch-informierter Kunst
Vorlage, Beispiel aus dem Jahr 2015 im Fachbereich Kunst - Kunstgeschichte, Note: 1,7, Leuphana Universität Lüneburg (Philosophie und Kunstwissenschaft), Veranstaltung: Feministische Kunst der 1970er Jahre, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Dieses Exposé umfasst zum Thema "Die Gestensprache feministisch-informierter Kunst" mehrere Ansätze. Es handelt sich um eine Vorarbeit, nicht um eine letztlich fertig verfasste Arbeit. Im Kontext einer solchen werden mehrere Punkte thematisiert: Die zentrale Frage- und Problemstellung wird dargelegt und in den derzeitigen Forschungsstand eingebettet. Eine erste theoretische Rahmung begleitet von einer Werkauswahl wird dargelegt. Grundlegende Leitfragen werden, ebenso wie einige Ergebnisannahmen, aufgestellt. Eine Arbeitsgliederung wird zum Ende vorgestellt.
Form und Funktion Von Redebegleitenden Gesten in Technisch Vermittelter Kommunikation
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2011 im Fachbereich Medien / Kommunikation - Interpersonale Kommunikation, Note: 1,0, Rheinisch-Westfälische Technische Hochschule Aachen (Institut für Sprach- und Kommunikationswissenschaft der RWTH Aachen Lehrstuhl für Deutsche Philologie und Germanistisches Institut), Veranstaltung: Gestenanalyse: Theoretische und empirische Ansätze, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Redebegleitende Gesten erfüllen in der Kommunikation unterschiedliche Zwecke: Sie nehmen Bezug auf Gegenstände der Rede, strukturieren das Gesagte, lenken die Aufmerksamkeit der Zuhörer, fordern zu Aktionen auf und wirken an der Erschaffung und am Wechsel von Gesprächsrollen mit. Sie sind "verkör...
