Gesture in interpreting

Temas

Detalles

The use of bodily articulators when humans communicate is a shared feature across different modalities, i.e., spoken, signed, or tactile. Hearing speakers, deaf-sighted signers, and deafblind signers use their bodily articulators to convey meaning in different ways depending on the language. The main articulators used in the signed and the tactile modalities are the two hands, which articulate various types of signs and gestures. Deaf-sighted signers also use facial movements and expressions as an integral part of visual sign languages. Although the main articulators used in spoken languages are found in the vocal tract, hearing speakers also produce manual and nonmanual gestures accompanying speech.
