🧵 New paper to appear in The Handbook of Linguistics and Multimodality: “Communicating from head to toe”, with @acwiek.bsky.social and @susfuchs.bsky.social 🥰 We review evidence that language is fundamentally physical, shaped by anatomy and biomechanics from your skull to your soles. 🗣️🦵 [1/6]
Sharing a bit more about my contribution to *The Documentarist Turn* 📘
In our chapter, we argue for a **multimodal turn in corpus building**—moving beyond speech-centered approaches and toward documenting the full range of communicative resources involved in interaction.
