古德温将环境耦合手势定义为只能通过考虑说话者的物理环境来解释的手势。与口语不同,词汇符号也可以与环境耦合,因为视觉手动模式允许符号在环境中的元素上或附近表达。发音器官在很大程度上是隐藏的,不允许环境耦合。这篇评论提供了环境耦合符号的例子,这些符号只能在语言作为情境的方法中解释。然而,这种表达也受到语言内部系统属性的限制,这表明语言作为情境和语言作为系统的方法对于解释语言的非任意性(图标和索引)属性都是必要的。
Environmentally-coupled gestures are defined by Goodwin as gestures that can only be interpreted by taking into account the physical environment of the speaker. Lexical signs, unlike spoken words, can be also be environmentally-coupled because the visual-manual modality allows for signs to be articulated on or near elements in the environment. The speech articulators are largely hidden from view and do not permit environmental coupling. This commentary provides examples of environmentally-coupled signs, which can only be explained within a language-as-situated approach. However, such expressions are also constrained by internal, systematic properties of language, indicating that both language-as-situated and language-as-system approaches are necessary to account for the non-arbitrary (iconic and indexical) properties of language.
