The gesticulation
The gesticulation is another form of the body language that is able to express the feelings and the emotions of a person. It is rather vivid and expressive form of the body language as it is constantly changed and always accompanies the words we pronounce. The gesticulation is rather interesting phenomenon as if you ask for ten people who are known as the active gesticulators there will be two of them who will confess that fact. The other eight will refuse it and it will not be an indication that they are liars but the indication and a proof for the fact that the gesticulation is a subconscious activity of a person. Those who use vivid gesticulation to emphasise their words and speech, in most case, are pretty sure that they never swing their hands.
So, the gesticulation is another form for subconsciousness of the people communicates to the outer world and the listeners of the speaker. There was a famous orator, who was asked about the main feature of good orator, and his answer was "Gesturing". Indeed, the gesturing helps us to provide our speech with necessary expressiveness we are not able to provide with the words only. Still, it is rather delicate sphere and the boundary between gesturing and chaotic swinging of one's hands is rather delicate, so as the boundary between impressions those are able to make.
Let's not forget about the fact that the gesturing, unlike the other forms of the body language, is not an independent language. It is an addition for words and phrases the people use in their oral speech. Just like some of the phrases will be senseless without accompanying it with an appropriate gesture, the gesture will also has no sense as used as a single means of expression without the words. Say, if you want to say gently that a person is of narrow mind you say "He is smart" and as pronouncing the word "smart" show with your fingers the gesture that symbolise inverted comas. Such gesture will provide the word "smart" with an irony and will be a sign that the polarity of the word "smart" should be realised here.
In case if you say the same phrase and use no gesture no one will realise the real meaning of what you have said, and you expression will be recognised as a compliment for a person. So, the phrase without the gesture loses its meaning. But, the same with the gesture without the phrase, there will be no meaning in that gesture in case if it is not provided with words. Without the necessary word this gesture will be a simple swinging of the hands.
Though gesturing is of great importance one should remember that everything is okay that is measured. To quick and vivid gesturing will bring you no good, but will result the anxiety and madness of your interlocutor. But, in case if you use the right gestures, in the right moments and with the right words, the gesturing will be of great help and will provide you with additional attractiveness and confidence. Gestures are able to provoke the feelings of adoration, aggression, trust, love, suspicion and a great number of other feelings.
