While most studies focus on text-based communication, gestures find themselves overshadowed by text and speech. Asian gestures, too, often reside in the shadow of Eurocentric viewpoints. This book will shift this dynamic and amplify the voices that have typically been marginalised within 20th-century Eurocentric discussions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book will be informative for students and researchers interested in Asian languages, cultures, film studies, and pragmatics. It bridges the gap between words and gestures, unveiling a world of concealed meanings and enriching our understanding of diverse forms of expression.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45575649231086,"sku":"9781032331621","price":227.2,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/language-of-asian-gestures-hardback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
