Description

This volume represents the first time that researchers on signed language and gesture have come together with a coherent focus under the framework of cognitive linguistics.

The pioneering work of Sherman Wilcox is highlighted throughout, scaffolding much of the research of these contributors.

The five sections of the volume reflect critical areas of Dr. Wilcox's own research in cognitive linguistics: Guiding research principles in signed language, gesture, and cognitive linguistics; iconicity across signed and spoken linguistics; multimodality; blending, depiction and metaphor in signed languages; and specific grammatical constructions as form-meaning pairings.

The authors of this volume exemplify and continue Dr. Wilcox's work of bridging signed and spoken language disciplines by contributing chapters that represent a multiplicity of perspectives on signed, spoken, and gesture data.

This volume presents a unified collection of cognitive linguistics research by leading authors that will be of interest to readers in the fields of signed and spoken language linguistics, gesture studies, and general linguistics.
