This handbook documents the state of the art of how bodily movements relate to language. It interrogates the term ‘nonverbal communication’ and popular notions like ‘body language’, revealing instead the subtle connections between language and the body. The volume includes topics such as the multimodal nature of language, the embodiment as a resource for meaning-making, and the conceptualization as felt experience.
