1. Vina Question
“How do deictic gestures differ from other types of gestures?”
Answer
Deictic gestures are a type of gesture that involves pointing or indicating to
specific objects or locations in the environment. They differ from other types of
gestures in that they are more specific and referential in nature, whereas other types of
gestures may be more general or expressive. Overall, deictic gestures are an important
part of human communication and can help us convey complex ideas and information
in a clear and concise way.
For example, a deictic gesture might involve pointing to a particular object and
saying "this one," while a more general gesture might involve waving your arms to
indicate excitement or frustration. Deictic gestures are often used to help communicate
information or to direct attention, while other types of gestures may be used for
emotional expression or social interaction.
2. Ita Question
“Is it important to use plus gesture when we use deictic? What happen if we are
not use plus gesture?”
Answer
While using a plus gesture (extending the index finger and thumb to make a
circle) might improve the clarity of a deictic gesture, it is not always necessary.
However, if a deictic gesture is not accompanied by any other physical indication or
verbal message, it may be unclear to the listener or spectator what is being referred to.
This can lead to confusion or misunderstanding, especially in cross-cultural
communication when different gestures may have distinct meanings. As a result, it is
critical to employ clear and unambiguous deictic gestures in conjunction with other
types of communication to ensure effective communication.
