Gesture refers to the arm and hand movements that synchronize with speech McNeill (1992). Kong et al. (2012) reported a novel approach to independently analyze gesture forms and functions in spontaneous oral discourse. It was found that about one third of normal speakers did not use any gestures. While content-carrying gestures (e.g., iconic and deictic gestures) mainly functioned to help listeners decode verbal messages, those that are non-content-carrying (e.g., beats) mainly served to emphasize speech content and to regulate conversational flow. Moreover, speakers’ linguistic proficiency and age also affected the overall employment of gestures.  This study systematically investigated how gesture use was different between speakers with and without aphasia. Whether gestures differed as a function of aphasia severity, semantic processing impairment, and hemiplegia were also examined.
