@JPdeRuiter on iconic gestures as the first talk at the #pgsw19 workshop. Gestures are more ad hoc and less conventionalized than language. "You can't see on someone's gestures that they're from South Boston, for instance." 
Iconic gestures are interesting because they
– are created on the go (not conventional)
– are intricately linked to speech production
– add redundancy with speech which facilitates comprehension for the listener

Gestures still have shared interpretation. How we interpret cabin attendant safety information gestures. Similarly, @JPdeRuiter says he played Massachusetts car honks at UCLA, and the intended meaning is interpreted correctly. "And a car honk is a one-dimensional signal!"
