Reviews

'Harrison's book offers an excellent example for how multimodal language use can be approached with a focus on grammatical phenomena. Numerous nicely discussed examples and a well-grounded discussion of theoretical and methodological aspects for such an endeavor make the book attractive to students as well as advanced scholars interested in a usage-based perspective on multimodal language use.' Jana Bressem, Journal of Pragmatics '... this book can be appreciated by anyone interested in any form linguistics and communication. The author does an incredible job to thoroughly make his case, addressing all the key constructs of cospeech gesticulation chapter by chapter, and in a way that is accessible to novices, and informative to scientists and linguistics alike.'
