Abstract

    Our hands are always with us and are used for communication all over the world.  When children do not have an established language model to learn from, they use their hands to communicate––they gesture––and these gestures take on the forms of language. In this role, the hands reveal the fundamental properties of mind that give shape to language. When children do learn an established language, they again use their hands to gesture. These gestures do not look like language, but form an integrated system with language. In this role, the hands can convey ideas not found in the language they accompany and play a role in learning. In both contexts, gesture provides a clear view of the mind hidden in our hands.
