From the Back Cover

Repetitive sequences play a major role as a pattern-building device and are a basic syntagmatic linguistic means on all language levels in spoken and signed languages.This book demonstrates that repetitions are also a basic principle of building patterns in gestures. By addressing questions of mediality and multimodality of language-in-use, it contributes to the investigation of repetition as a fundamental means of sign and meaning construction (crosscutting modalities) and enhances the understanding of the multimodal character of language in use.
