Action function.Emblem

A symbolic and conventionalized body action with a culturally defined fixed form-meaning relationship, which is shared among most members of a (sub)culture. An emblem has a direct verbal translation that consists of one or tho words or a phrase. The emblem is used by the sender to communicate a clear nonverbal message and can be used independently of speech. Contrary to the other action function categories, the form of an emblematic action is fixed.
