Gestures and Language

چکیده
g n, arguing that it is organized as a dialectic of opposite cognitive modes, dialectic of gesture imagery and language. This dialectic is the key to the evocatio organization, and ultimate execution of meaningful actions shaped to take linguisti in discourse – imagery, as embodied in the gestures that accompany speech, and the categorical-sequential thinking of speech itself. Both modes are essential components of psycholinguistic performance. A dialectic moreover naturally incorporates the contex speaking in an integral way and we shall develop a theoretical description of context as part of the analysis of performance. Such a dialectic model is self-motivating, selfdirected and does not need a guiding hand (hidden or otherwise) of an executive.

متن کاملWhat can iconic gestures tell us about the language system? A case of conduction aphasia.

متن کاملPointing sets the stage for learning language--and creating language.
Tomasello, Carpenter, and Liszkowski (2007) have argued that pointing gestures do much more than single out objects in the world.

As such, pointing gestures form the platform on which linguistic communication rests, paving the way for later language learning. This commentary provides evi...
