Symbolic gestures,
such as pantomimes that signify actions (e.g., threading a needle) or emblems that facilitate social transactions (e.g., finger to lips indicating “be quiet”), play an important role in human communication. They are autonomous, can fully take the place of words, and function as complete utterances in their own right. The relationship between these gestures and spoken language remains unclear. Join us as UAB doctors and researchers describe the work being done in these areas and how it will effect those with speech difficulties.
