<p><strong>‘Thirty years ago Geoffrey Beattie and Andrew Ellis astutely pointed out that language takes place in conversation, where verbal messages always go hand in hand with non-verbal communication. Yet language was primarily studied in isolation. Since then some progress has been made, but there is still a long way to go. Students and more advanced researchers alike will benefit from reading this classic book, serving as an essential reminder that language's true function is to communicate.’,</strong> <i>Suzanne Jongman, PhD.
