Language interaction is a multimodal phenomenon. Although traditionally deemed mere epiphenomenon of language, co-speech gestures and other non-verbal means are crucial to all aspects of communication. In this paper, we focus on co-speech gestures from the perspective of cognitivist approaches to language, particularly Construction Grammar. We attempt to make a case for Multimodal Construction Grammar as a promising way of taking co-speech gesture into a holistic symbol-based account, that adheres to both cognitive as well as interactionist principles.
