Description: Gestural Origin of Language, Hardcover by Armstrong, David F.; Wilcox, Sherman E., ISBN 0195163486, ISBN-13 9780195163483, Like New Used, Free P&P in the UK In the context of a history of sign languages denigrated as "mere gesture," Armstrong (Gallaudet U.; editor, Sign Language Studies journal) and Wilcox (linguistics, U. of New Mexico) argue that gestures are the basis for the evolution of human language ability. They summarize the major linguistic theories and fossil record evidence on such origins; support William Stokoe's idea that the syntax of signed languages is as complex as that of spoken languages; and present a model that overrides mind/body dualism in relation to the visual-gestural and oral modes of communication.
