Reinterpreting gesture as language: Language "in action"
Gesture is integral to human language. Its function within human communication is as much goal-directed, and subsequently as communicative, as is speech. Indeed, gesture and speech share the same cognitive, psychological and physiological roots. Although the study of gesture has reached maturity as...

Gesture is integral to human language. Its function within human communication is as much goal-directed, and subsequently as communicative, as is speech.
