Gesticulation

Gesticulation refers to the use of hand movements and body language to express ideas or emotions while speaking. It enhances communication by emphasizing points, conveying feelings, or adding to the meaning of spoken words. People often gesture unconsciously, as it helps them articulate thoughts more clearly. Gesticulation can vary by culture; some cultures have rich traditions of expressive movements, while others may use less. Overall, it is an important aspect of human interaction that complements verbal communication and aids in understanding.
