Three Common Gestures in Speech

Some foreign scholars believe that gestures and facial expressions can convey 40% of the overall speech information in a speech. Ye Mi Yaroslavski, an early Marxist propagandist in the Soviet Union, said: "The speaker's gestures are naturally used to supplement the speaker's thoughts, feelings and feelings." Soviet actor Papazian also said: "Sign language itself is as expressive as words." This is especially true when words are less than thoughts, and three or two sentences will have a whole set of philosophy.

Sign language can not only emphasize or explain the meaning of lines, but also vividly express what is not in lines. "It can be said that a speech without gestures is not a real speech.

In addition, gestures can also reveal people's personality and psychological state. Touch your chin when you have the answer. When you are happy, clap your thighs; When you regret it, pat your forehead; Rub your hands when you are in trouble; When angry, strike the table; When you are nervous, your hands will be tightly twisted together; When you are heartbroken, beat your chest; Give a thumbs-up for approval, a thumbs-up for contempt, and so on. No wonder Freud thought that "fingertips can talk".

There are various speech gestures, but there are certain rules to follow. According to their usage and meaning, they can be roughly divided into the following categories:

1. affectionate gesture. This gesture mainly expresses the speaker's strong feelings of joy, anger and joy, making it concrete. For example, when it comes to success, the speaker applauds; When talking about something very angry, the speaker clenched his fist and kept shaking; When talking about anxiety and worry, the speaker rubbed his hands. Affectionate gestures can not only render the atmosphere, but also help convey emotions, and are used most frequently in speeches.

2. Gesture. This gesture has the function of clearly indicating objects. Can let the audience see the real thing. For example, when talking about you, me, him or here, there, above and below, you can give the audience a clearer impression with your fingers. This gesture is characterized by simple action, single-minded expression and basically no sense of color. This gesture can only indicate the things and directions that the audience can perceive visually, and it can't be used if the audience's vision is poor.

3. Image gestures. This gesture is mainly used to imitate things and give the audience a sense of image. For example, when the speaker realizes that "the pocket computer is only this big", the audience will know its size through gestures. When talking about "a miniature camera is only as big as an imported lighter", it is concrete and vivid to use gestures to cooperate.
