Figuras da enunciação. Os gestos discursivos do saber

The authors adopt an 'expanded' perspective, integrating the gesture with a rhetorical vision of long tradition as well as with contemporary concepts of pragmatics, as an act of language, and of textual linguistics, as a textual sequence. They also show that the gesture is at the interface with the figures of thought and any theorization about it must integrate this discussion beyond a stylistic or aesthetic dimension, reaching a level of the very nature of language.
