Redefining Multimodality

چکیده
The term “multimodality” incorporates visible gestures as part of language, a goal first put forward by Adam Kendon, and this idea revolutionized the scope linguistic inquiry. But here I show that itself is rife with ambiguity, sometimes referring to different physical channels transmission (auditory vs. visual), integration structures more imagistic, less conventionalized expressions (see David McNeill's work), regardless channel. In sign languages, both modes are conveyed in single, visual channel, revealed signing actors language theatre. spoken contrary expectations raised defining “modality” terms we see channel orthogonal gestural expression: Some signals parcel structure, while some auditory (intonational) have characteristics mode. empirical, qualitative study, adopt “mode” refer solely specific communicative expression, not “Multimodal” refers coexistence modes, transmission—straightforwardly encompassing two natural systems, signed.
