Language from the Body: Iconicity and Metaphor in American Sign Language
Taub, Sarah F. (Gallaudet University, Washington DC)

Language from the Body rebuts the generativist linguistic theories which separate form and meaning and asserts that iconicity can only be described in a cognitivist framework where meaning can influence form.
