"Nonmanual markers" as a book category would collect works about the facial expressions, head and body movements, eye gaze, mouth patterns and other nonhand signals that function as grammar, prosody and affect in signed and multimodal languages. Books in this category would range from linguistic descriptions and typological surveys of how different sign languages use nonmanuals to mark questions, negation, relative clauses and tone-like features, to textbooks for interpreters and teachers, developmental and neurolinguistic studies of acquisition and processing, clinical guides for assessment and therapy, and technical papers on automatic recognition and avatar synthesis. The category would appeal to linguists, sign-language educators, interpreters, cognitive scientists, clinicians and anyone interested in nonverbal communication, and would emphasize both theoretical frameworks and applied methods for analyzing, teaching and modeling the rich grammatical and expressive roles that nonmanual markers play in human communication.
