Abstract
The present review explores the integrated relationship between gesture and speech during language comprehension. Taking a broad view, it presents a conceptual framework that approaches the comprehension of gesture and speech along three different dimensions: (1) components of language (semantics, pragmatics, phonetics and syntax), (2) levels of analysis (social, cognitive, and biological) and (3) timeframes of integration (online, moment-to-moment, developmental). The evidence suggests that some linguistic components (e.g., concrete semantic and pragmatic) are deeply connected to gestures, but others (e.g., abstract semantic, syntactic and phonetic) are less so. In this way, the hands help to delineate what aspects of language function as part of the body and what aspects operate independently of it.
