Everyone gestures while speaking, in a specific and generally unconsciousmanner. What are the functions of gestures? What relationship do they have tospeech? How do gestures work to create meaning? In this valuable book, Genevi veCalbris undertakes to answer those questions.
Based on theauthor's own extensive experimental research, The Semiotics of French Gesturespresents a systematic description and a detailed semiotic analysis of Frenchgestures. The book aims to establish a structual semantics of the set of gesturesand facial expressions that accompany or replace spoken language.
As this book demonstrates, the study of gesturing isindispensable to a full understanding of a foreign language and its use in real-lifesituations. The Semiotics of French Gestures will be a valuable source for scholarsand students of communication, semiotics, linguistics, and languages.
