Watson, JCE and Wilson, J (2017) Gesture in Modern South Arabian Languages: variation in multimodal constructions during task-based interaction. Brill's Journal of Afroasiatic Languages and Linguistics, 9 (1-2). pp. 49-72. ISSN 1876-6633
Abstract
Until fairly recently most linguistic fieldwork relied on written records of spoken data or audio-only recordings. The recent increase in research focusing on audio-visual data, with emphasis on the co-expressiveness of speech and gesture, has led to a greater understanding of the relationship between language, gesture and thought. In this paper, we discuss gesture and what it illuminates linguistically in two Modern South Arabian Languages: Mehri and Śḥerɛ̄t.
