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 across
cultures, VII. Body movements: functions, contexts and
interactions, VIII. Gesture and language, IX. Embodiment: the body
and its role for cognition, emotion, and communication, X. Sign
Language: Visible body movements as language. Authors include: Mats
