This inquiry employs Cognitive Grammar principles to superiorly account for the symbolic consolidation of gesture and speech. It explores the use of two attention-setting strategies that are conveyed via gesture, beats and pointing. It examines the consolidation of beats and pointing gestures as intricate gestural expressions.
