Action function.Illustrator

A conversational action that supports accompanying speech by illustrating the rhythm or content of a verbalized message (often called gesticulation). Contrary to emblems they do not have as precise a verbal definition. Like emblems, illustrators may involve any part of the body, although typically they involve the hands or head (can also involve postural shifts or facial muscle movement). Illustrator subtypes coded are beats and deictic movements.
