Advance praise: 'David McNeill explores and extends his life's work, the study of the gesture/language system - our unique, human, expressive being - in this exhilarating, challenging, masterly tour-de-force.' Jonathan Cole Advance praise: 'David McNeill, quite simply, has fundamentally changed how we think about human bodily communication, particularly hand gesture. His views are immensely influential. He tackles the major theoretical questions in this area with great courage and conviction, and his precise arguments really do define the field.' Geoff Beattie, Edge Hill University Advance praise: 'David McNeill's decades of groundbreaking work on gesture have transformed the study of language. This book presents penetrating new insights into the embodied nature of utterance formation.' Elena Levy, University of Connecticut Advance praise: 'This extraordinary volume synthesises McNeill's trailblazing work on the links between gesture, speech, and language in mind and brain, in interaction, evolution, and development. It is engaging, compelling, and indispensable.' Marianne Gullberg
