8. Gestures languege uniqueness (my opinion)
• It‘s interesting how people in 1600s thought that gestures are
for dumb and savage people , but the languege we know now
started from manual modality.
• Even tough gestures aren‘t the same everywhere we would still
be able to communicate with foreign country‘s , by using not
formal gesture languege.
• When using gestures, rules of grammar remain the same.
