Beschreibung

This book provides an accessible and engaging introduction to how we use gesture in communication. Lauren Gawne explores the different categories of gesture and how they vary across cultures and languages, the acquisition of gesture, where it lives in the brain, and its role in both the origins of language and the future of communication.
