Abstract

In this paper we offer the first steps in a framework for unifying spoken language, signed language, and gesture.The framework is based on three existing theories: dynamic systems theory, cognitive grammar, and non-Cartesian approaches to cognitive neuroscience.Our article posits a human expressive ability, which we claim is based on the need of moving creatures to comprehend their environment, resulting in a conceptual system embodied in perceptual and motor systems.This human expressive ability underlies language and gesture.We explore relations between language and gesture as emergent systems.
