occurrent part of gesturing purely gestural communication 2026-03-21T18:18:14Z A communication carried out only through gesturing. Differs from gesturing because now we add the fact that there is another entity that is doing a concretization interpretation process. Excludes vocalization and writing. It could include gesturing the letters, though. For example, the Y-M-C-A motions without vocalizing “why—emm—see—ayy” would be gestural communication. Most linguistic communication with a human speaker that occurs via vocalization also includes gesturing. Here we are concerned with gesture-only communication. Waving hello, an usher waving a patron to her seat, placing the index finger in front of the mouth to order another to be silent, signaling someone in a crowd to come over. William R.
