Language – Discussion Board #3
\n2
\nLearning Objective: What is Language and Where Does it Come From?
\nWhile we may think of language as confined to the words that we speak, there is so
\nmuch more to language than this. The world of gestures is an excellent example; many
\nof us “speak with our hands” in order to emphasize the topic (sample nursing essay examples by the best nursing assignment writing service)s that we are trying to
\ncommunicate. Italians are particularly famous for their elaborate and exaggerated
\nlanguage of gestures. A recent article and video from the New York Times does an
\nexcellent job of elucidating this topic (sample nursing essay examples by the best nursing assignment writing service). You can see the article “When Italians Chat,
\nHands and Fingers Do the Talking” at the following link NY TIMES Article
\n(Links to an external site.)
\nInstructions:
\n1. After reading the article and watching the video about Italian hand gestures,
\nyou should have a greater awareness of the role of gesture in
\ncommunication. Over the course of a day, make note of the gestures that you,
\nyour friends, and your professors use, and in what contexts these gestures
\nare used.
\n2. Prepare a summary of the gestures you observed for your class’s online
\nforum.
\n3. Use Canvas Studio to respond to this post (60 seconds or less). Make a short
\nvideo of the gestures. How to respond with Canvas Studio.

\n6. Explain the gestures in a small paragraph!
\n7. (Links to an external site.)
\n8.
\n9. In the comment section, discuss with your classmates whether there are
\nother possible meanings for any of the gestures you presented.
\nAll posts made to each Lesson discussion are scored according to the following criteria:
\n\u25cf 0 points: no participation, no attempt to begin a discussion, or respond to a
\nclassmate.
\n\u25cf .5 \u2013 5.75 point (F): varying degrees of failure; attempt to participate is not
\nsincere; does not demonstrate much or any preparation; student clearly
\nunwilling to participate or prepare; posts do not address the topic (sample nursing essay examples by the best nursing assignment writing service) or engage
\npeer in discussion; and\/or post is incomprehensible due to
\ngrammar\/spelling\/syntax errors!
\n\u25cf 6 \u2013 6.75 points (D): attempt does not demonstrate comprehension of material
\nor full preparation for the discussion, or does not address the discussion topic (sample nursing essay examples by the best nursing assignment writing service)
\nin a meaningful way, and\/or post is very difficult to understand, containing
\ngrammar\/spelling\/syntax errors!
\n\u25cf 7 \u2013 7.75 points (C): statements indicate a willingness to participate but do not
\nindicate full preparation or full comprehension, or may not address the
\ndiscussion topic (sample nursing essay examples by the best nursing assignment writing service) fully and\/or post is somewhat difficult to follow, containing
\ngrammar\/spelling\/syntax errors.
\n\u25cf 8 \u2013 8.75 points (B): statements indicate student willing and prepared for
\ndiscussion, but maybe lacking a complete understanding of concepts or
\ncomplete coverage of discussion topic (sample nursing essay examples by the best nursing assignment writing service), and\/or post contains some
\ngrammar\/spelling\/syntax errors. They have also responded to at least 2 other
\npost
\n\u25cf 9-10 points (A): Students\u2019 enthusiastic participation indicates preparation,
\ncomprehension and complete understanding of concepts, has complete and
\naccurate coverage of the discussion topic (sample nursing essay examples by the best nursing assignment writing service) and is free of

\nGestures are an important part of communication for both humans and animals. Hand gestures
\nare used in Italy as a form of non-verbal communication. In the Italian lexicon, gestures are
\ndominated by hand movements, but may also include facial features such as eyebrows and
\nmouth. Italian gestures and in particular, Italian hand movements are difficult, but at the same
\ntime a great addition to the language, sometimes even replacing words. . When speaking in
\ngestures, Italians can add subtlety to their speech.
\nIn Italy, children, teenagers and the elderly all make gestures. For Italians, gestures come
\ninvoluntarily. The classic fingers pressed to the thumb can mean “What do you want from me?”
\nor “I was not born yesterday” on the hand, which rotates slowly, which indicates “Whatever it is”
\nor “It will be that day”, there are some gestures that are very simple. The index finger on the
\ncheeks means that something is delicious. And touching the wrist is a common sign of
\n“hurrying”. But others are much more complicated. Continuing hand gestures as part of the
\nItalian lexicon, I best perceive it as a culturally coded form, as Italian children subconsciously
\nimitate their parents and as they grow older, they continue to use these gestures. I think the
\ngoal is to encourage the expression of the word and to show the feelings.
\nI have many friends who have gestures that are unique to them. Many of them use hand
\ngestures such as ( ) (meaning to agree or disagree, to call, to greet). I have
\nlecturers who talk about a question during the lesson and the content of the text becomes clear
\nfrom the expression on his face. Or he can just move his head during a question as a sign of
\nagreement. At this point, I realize that I use a lot of different gestures when speaking. For
\nexample, when I try to remember something, I put my hand on my head, or when I talk about
\nsomething, I show it. I use hand gestures every time, in every context. It depends on my
\nemotional state, my mood. I think hand movements suggest our emotional state. Thus
\ngestures accompany us throughout life, we do them in any situation that expresses our state of
\nmind at that very moment.

\nThis has made me think of the many gestures I use at work to communicate with either
\ncoworkers or customers. I work at a jewelry store so often times when my coworkers
\nare trying to speak to me from a distance about what a customer wants I usually point
\nto my wrist gesturing that they want a “bracelet.” Even today I saw some customers
\nstand by the entrance of the door not sure if they could come in, I waved them inside
\nletting them know they can come in to look around. Since I work at a jewelry store I
\nhave to wear most of the products from the brand myself to advertise. Whenever
\ncustomers want to see some rings I put my hands out and spread out my fingers in front
\nof them and ask them if they see anything they liked on me already, and this also lets
\nthem know that they are free to touch or look at the rings and bracelets on my hands. Or
\nif customers speak a different language they usually point to their neck or ring signaling
\nthat they want a ring or a bracelet. These are the many ways I communicate with the
\npeople I work with while using hand gestures. As I walk out towards the entrance to take
\nmy leave I usually wave to my coworkers “goodbye” or “See you next time I come in!”
\nWorking in an industry that has to do with selling products gives me lots of opportunities
\nto communicate with hand gestures with customers and coworkers whenever there is a
\nsituation where we can really speak.<\/p>\n

LANGUAGE DISCUSSION BOARD NUMBER TWO<\/p>\n
What is Language and Where Does It Come From? is the learning objective.<\/p>\n
While we may conceive of language as being limited to the words we speak, there is much more to it.<\/p>\n
There’s a lot more to language than this. The realm of gestures is a wonderful example; many people use gestures in their daily lives.<\/p>\n
We “talk with our hands” to highlight the points we’re attempting to make.<\/p>\n
communicate. Italians are known for their ornate and exaggerated costumes.<\/p>\n
Gestures have their own language. The New York Times recently published an article and video on the subject.<\/p>\n
This issue has been well-explained. The article can be found here “When Italians converse,<\/p>\n
Hands and Fingers Do the Talking” at the following link NY TIMES Article<\/p>\n
