Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

What if the way your body feels a word matters more than what the word means?Kinesthetics of Language begins where most books on language end - before the sentence, before the syllable, in the pressure and movement that precede speech itself. Written from the perspective of a near-nonverbal autistic mind, this book traces the hidden architecture of human communication: why some words feel heavy and others light, why a prayer can calm the body before the mind has processed its meaning, and why the sounds we choose carry somatic weight that definitions alone cannot explain.Part memoir, part systems analysis, part linguistic inquiry, the book moves through lived experience - dissolving words, sensory overload, epistemic precision, the timers that call a mind back to its body - and into a rigorous exploration of language as a kinesthetic medium. Words are not merely symbols. They are movements. Patterns of breath performed by the body, shaped by the mouth, felt before they are understood.For readers who have ever sensed that language does something to them before it means anything to them, this book offers both a framework and a recognition: you were right to notice. The body has always known.Includes a Somatic Poetic Lexicon - a curated reference guide to the phonetic, somatic, and architectural properties of selected words, along with a framework for readers to build and extend their own.
