How do we use the body as a conduit for lan­gu­a­ge? Under what cir­cum­stan­ces must the body adjust to or con­tra­dict words? And what hap­pens when mea­nings begin to shift? 

Spoken lan­gu­a­ge rare­ly arri­ves alo­ne; it tra­vels with gestu­re. We emp­ha­si­se or sof­ten our words, stretch their mea­ning or brush them off. The silent con­tract bet­ween lan­gu­a­ge and move­ment forms the core of Terms & Conditions.

Etymology tra­ces whe­re words come from and how their mea­nings chan­ge through use. Berger Myhre draws on this to reve­al how lan­gu­a­ge itself moves, almost like a dan­ce. With humour and wit, she explo­res how the body encoun­ters words and lan­gu­a­ge ali­ke: how lite­ral and figu­ra­ti­ve mea­nings col­li­de, how words slip, thoughts con­nect, and puns surface. 

The mea­ning of a word is its use.
