| Opplysninger | Gesture in Multiparty Interaction confronts the competing views that exist regarding gesture's relationship to language. In this work, Emily Shaw examines embodied discourses in American Sign Language and spoken English and seeks to establish connections between sign language and co-speech gesture. By bringing the two modalities together, Shaw illuminated the similarities between certain phenomena and presents a unified analysis of embodied discourse that more clearly captures gesture's connection to language as a whole. This volume examines gesture, not just for its iconic, imagistic qualities, but also as interactive resource in signed and spoken discourse. Shaw also addresses the key theoretical barriers that prevent a full accounting of gesture's interface with signed and spoken language. Her research pushes further the notion that language is fundamentally embodied
