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.
