Description
Based on the phenomenon of negation, this book combines gesture studies and cognitive linguistics to illustrate the multimodality of grammar in language use in social and professional interactions. It explains not only when and how we gesture, but also why we gesture. Ideal for researchers and graduate students in linguistics and cognitive science.
