A Multimodal View Of Aspectuality In Oral Narratives (Slovo)

The book considers the ways in which people construe events as bounded and unbounded in oral communication, using aspectual forms and co-speech gestures. The results reveal differences in event construal in multimodal terms by speakers of Russian and French, marking the ways in which boundedness is realized in spontaneous oral narratives.
