基本説明
New in paperback. Hardcover was published in 1992. Presents a bold theory of the essential unity of speech and the gestures that accompany it.
Full Description
Using data from more than ten years of research, David McNeill seeks to show that gestures do not simply form a part of what is said and meant but have an impact on thought itself. This text argues that because gestures directly transfer mental images to visible forms, conveying ideas that language cannot always express, we must examine language and gesture together to unveil the operations of the mind.
