在本研究中，我们探讨了手势和言语产出之间的关系。受试者被要求阅读一个故事，然后叙述他们所记得的。我们根据金奇的程序分析了言语产出，并得到了一个代表主体叙述意义的分层组织的命题列表。命题被细分为高级命题和低级命题。此外，我们通过识别伴随受试者叙述的手或手臂运动来分析手势产生。每一个手势都与同时产生的单词相关联，然后与该单词所属的命题相关联。分析表明，受试者更有可能产生与高水平命题相关的手势，而不是与低水平命题相关的手势。高层次的命题可能会引发手势的产生，反过来，标志着同时传达的言语意义的重要性。
In the present pilot study, we examined the relationship between gesture and verbal production. Subjects were asked to read a story and then to narrate what they remembered. We analyzed verbal production according to Kintsch's procedure and obtained a list of hierarchically organized propositions that represented the meaning of subject's narration. propositions were subdivided into High- and Low-level propositions. Further, we analyzed gesture production by identifying hand or arm movement that accompanied subject's narration. Each gesture was associated with the word simultaneously produced, and then with the proposition to which the word belonged. Analysis showed subjects were more likely to produce gestures in association with High- rather than with Low-level propositions. High-level propositions may elicit the production of gestures which, in turn, mark the importance of verbal meaning conveyed simultaneously.
